Name?

named after?
Did you ever wonder who your
school was named after? Some are easy. Most citizens of Connecticut
know that Ella Grasso was governor of Connecticut
and if you remember your American History you know that Oliver Wolcott was a
signer of the Declaration of Independence as well as Governor. But most of
our schools are named after individuals who made important contributions to Connecticut in many
ways but are not as well known.
