The Gwinnett County School board has listened! A new elementary school in Lawrenceville will be named after former Central Gwinnett head football coach, Lawrenceville mayor and Gwinnett County commissioner Bartow Jenkins. Jenkins Elementary is slated to open in 2010. This is a richly deserved honor for the late community icon.

I'm glad Bartow is getting some more well-deserved recognition.

Bartow stories abound, but here's mine: As an undersized freshman on the football team, Bartow was not pleased with my effort...he threatened to "put his foot up my butt so far it'll take a dentist to get it out"!
