The student body of Auburn High School believes that after everything that has happened in 2020, specifically the tragic deaths of various African Americans who lost their lives due to police brutality or other forms of systemic racism that exists within our society, the changing of our school name to Harriet Tubman High School will show that Auburn stands on the side of equality and inclusion.

This change will also exemplify Auburn's historical connection to Harriet Tubman and other revolutionaries. We are extremely proud of Auburn's history and believe we should celebrate it.
