Mustang on the Street

“ I think that they should keep it simple, simple is good."

“I’m sad about it because I went to the middle school in 8th grade and I really liked the middle school as the Coakley. I think it would be a big change."

"I think they should keep the old name."

“With my understanding that the current name for the middle school, Philip A Coakley Middle School, you know, it carries quite a tradition…”

“It is definitely an interesting question. I think it is certainly open for discussion. I also believe it will be interesting to see what the verdict is."

“I think they should keep it the same because it's been the same like forever."

“This is a little new to me but I honestly think it's good to have some consistency with the names of the schools, but I do think it would be a good idea for a change because a change for things is always good."

“So I honestly haven't looked into the issue much because I do not teach at the middle school and don’t live in this town, it has not had a huge impact on my life. However I do love that there is ample discussion about the name change; because I think that names particularly on buildings that are important to the town carry a lot of weight. And so i'm glad the town is taking it seriously."

“ I think that they should keep the OG name because it has been that name for a while.” 

“I don't really have a set opinion on it but whatever needs to be done should be done."

“I am aware they are going to rename and they should keep it Coakley Middle School.”
