Robert E. Lee High School in Baytown, named after the confederate general, was established in 1928. Other Texas schools by the same name have been renamed in recent years, including a High School in Houston. The board voted in favor of forming a committee to investigate the possible renaming of facilities before voting on renaming the school itself. We can change the name, but I dont see why we cant do it responsibly.It would cost between $150/200,000 and $400,000 to rename Robert E Lee High School, a couple of board members said Wednesday night. Board president Woods said the committee spoken of on Thursday will likely be made up of constituents from every district, and others, including community stakeholders.

BAYTOWN, Texas The board of the Goose Creek Consolidated Independent School District said they want to hear more from the community before calling for a board vote at a September meeting on whether or not to rename Robert E. Lee High School in Baytown, Texas. The result of the Sept. 9 vote by the board will determine if the high school gets a new name, district officials said. We cant justify retaining the name if it harms even one student, said board member Agustin Loredo. According to the district, minorities make up more than 80% of the student body at Robert E. Lee High School. The district is preparing for a large turnout of citizens who will want to express their opinions for and against the name change.
