    • Mr. Washington would be a great person to name the new MISD auditorium after. He has served previously on the MISD shcool board. He is a man of integrity. I know him personally when he was a member as well as myself of the Bethlehem Baptist Church of Mansfield, Tx. He was an educator for many years. Most importantly he really loves cares for and looks out for all children.
