You know you’ve made your mark in the world when public schools are named after you.
Such is the case with First Lady Michelle Obama, who finds herself with public schools being named after her. Clutch cites various schools who have changed their names to honor President Barack Obama’s better half.

Among the schools is Michelle Obama Elementary in Panorama City, California, a K – 5 school in the Los Angeles district that serves a largely Hispanic student body. The former Valley Region Elementary opened in 2012.

Going back to Obama’s first term in office, the Barack and Michelle Obama Learning Elementary emerged in St. Paul, Minnesota. The name of the K – 5 school, which includes African-American studies in its curriculum, was changed after the school board voted on it just 100 days into Obama’s first four years.

Formerly known as Forest Trail School, the Michelle Obama School Of Technology And The Arts is located in the predominantly black south Chicago suburb of Park Forest and serves graded serves grades 4 – 8.

“The Obama name was selected… because the values that the First Family models are unparalleled precedents and are values that our students strive to emulate,” district superintendent Joyce Carmine told Clutch.

2. Remove Reagan's name from every single thing it is on other than his tombstone, and

put Michelle or Barack on it?

Maybe not everything, his name is probably on shit that would be embarrassing.

But that wont happen so the next best thing is to get Michelle and Barack's name on as many things as possible as a REMINDER to you know who that once you go, cant finish that line but you get my drift.

Hey America, something happened in 2008 and NOTHING will EVER be the same!

And we aint going back, not ever, to the good ole days!

3. Nice!

She has been a wonderful First Lady, an effective advocate for young people's health and education, and an excellent role model for girls around the world. I will very much miss her when the Obamas leave the White House.

8. Nothing but respect for Michelle!

I've yet to have kids but I would gladly hope my daughter or son look to her as a role model.
And you know, hopefully myself as well.
