Texas school misspells its own name
May-10-2012

A Texas elementary school is correcting a spelling mistake made when it changed its name nearly nine years ago.
Sunrise Elementary School in Fort Worth added "McMillan" to its name in the 2003-2004 school year -- but also added an extra "i."
The school changed its name to honor its first teacher, Mrs. Mary McMillan, who eventually became principal. A relative recently reached out to the Fort Worth Independent School District to say it had bought an extra vowel.
Everything had the incorrect spelling of "Sunrise-McMillian" instead of "Sunrise-McMillan," including the lettering on the building, printed signs, vinyl congratulatory signs, logos and Facebook.
The lettering on the building was changed Monday.
