Denton ISD renames Robert E. Lee Elementary for local educator
Denton ISD officials unanimously voted to rename Robert E. Lee Elementary after a longtime educator in the district.
Starting in fall 2018, Lee Elementary will be known as Alice Moore Alexander Elementary School. Alexander taught kindergarten and first grade for 45 years in Denton.
“The renaming of a building is often a difficult decision to make, and we believe with the naming of new elementary, this was the perfect opportunity to honor Mrs. Alexander and keep her name close to the Southeast Denton community that she championed throughout her career and life,” said Denton ISD Board President Mia Price.
Alexander first began teaching in 1928 and passed away at the age of 100 in 2007.
