Change the name of St Hugh's Girls School to highlight femininity

Change the name of St Hugh's High School for girls to reflect femininity
St Hugh of Lincoln
Bishop of Lincoln (1186-1200)It is a sad state of affairs that not one of the schools that were established for the education of girls in Jamaica has a name that projects positive feminine qualities of the Jamaican woman which, for the purposes of this blog, I am limiting to  the condition of being female in Jamaica . I am bothered and vexed, in particular, with the name St Hugh's High School For Girls.
What's In A Name? This school was established in 1899 for the education of children up to the elementary level and girls at the secondary level. It was founded by a faith-based institution, The Deaconess Order, and they lovingly called the school Deaconess High School in honour of the work that they did in Jesus' name.
In 1925, the Jamaica Schools Commission requested that the name be changed, and the then principal selected the name of her prestigious college at Oxford University in the UK. The Jamaica Schools Commission nodded, the school owners offered no objection, and with ongoing astute leadership and practical support for infrastructure and academic staff, the school's reputation grew under the St Hugh's brand.

The Jamaica High School that was founded in 1921 suffered the same fate in 1929 when the Jamaica High Schools Commission requested the name b e changed; the accepted name was St Andrew High School for Girls.

Andrew the Apostle who was
said to have been crucified on the saltireThese name changes happened in a period when more existing schools became government grant aided. The UK born, Oxford educated, UK buried, Rt Rev George de Carteret, was the bishop for 15 years (1916 to 1931) and I wonder about his influence in these re-naming decisions.

In 2019, St Hugh's will achieve its 120th anniversary, and I propose that this significant milestone be used to return the school to a name that returns femininity to the centre of its purpose under a Christian philosophy. I would further want the word Jamaica added to the name so that it has a cultural resonance.
Today's Jamaica has fifteen secondary schools for girls, two of these are named after women and not one has a name that is linked to the culture and traditions of the nation of Jamaica. If the citizens of Jamaica wish the nation to exist in another generation, this is important.

"A city set upon a hill cannot be hid"Schools for boys do not suffer from this erasure of self, as the names of those schools deepen and highlight aspects that can be more easily accepted as a male condition. I have listed the names at the end of this article. The names for boys schools reflect ownership of the country and the spaces that the school occupies, or their benevolent founder or, in the case of Calabar, aspirations and pride of being a black person of African ancestry. These names, and the iconography and branding that goes along with them, are attachments for that build confidence in character during youth. 
Someone who is reading this is saying, "That is not necessary", which is a Jamaican euphemism for "I do not want to talk about this because it makes me uncomfortable," but the girls are being short changed!
My current suggestion for a name change that includes femininity, Christianity and Jamaican culture and identity is the name The Holy Jamaican Woman Academy short form  Holy Woman . The swan mascot still applies.

I propose that the word woman instead of girl to be in the name of the school as a way to promote that the title of woman is a positive state of being that girls should anticipate with pride, joy and a sense of purpose and responsibility.
