Kinda weird that they got rid of the statue in Wilmington, but kept the high school name.

The OTHER Delaware elementary school named after an elementary teacher is Carrie Downey Elementary in New Castle.

For whatever reason, I always mix up Caesar Rodney in Dover and Wm Penn in New Castle.

William Penn is much like Caesar Rodney in size and student population.
