Elizabeth M. Goodman Health School Redesignation Act of 2026

This bill redesignates the Sharpe Health School at 4300 13th Street, NW in Ward 4 to the Elizabeth M. Goodman Health School. The change honors Elizabeth M. Goodman, a longtime educator who led the Visiting Instruction Corps and served as principal of the Health School from 1952, where she expanded services for students with disabilities and medical needs. The legislation follows a community-driven review process that included input from families, former students, and local leadership, with Advisory Neighborhood Commission 4C formally supporting the renaming. The act takes effect after approval by the Mayor and completion of a 30-day congressional review period.
