Utah school changes name to honor NASA engineer instead of Andrew Jackson.

*The school board voted unanimously earlier this week to change the name of Andrew Jackson Elementary School to Mary Jackson Elementary School, according to the Salt Lake Tribune.

The school's name now honors the first black female NASA engineer whose story was featured in the film “Hidden Figures.”

It is also the first Utah school to be named after a woman.'>>>

Mary Jackson is iconic and is finally getting her due! The parents, alumni and community are to be lauded and commended for this move.
