Schoolwide Movement to Rename ACHS to Air Conditioning High School Gains Support<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat do we want? Air Conditioning! When do we want it? Now!\u201d At first glance, one might think that the students at Alexandria City High School are protesting for better air conditioning, which would not be that surprising given this warm climate. However, upon further investigation, you would be amazed — the students want to rename the school to Air Conditioning High School. Last Friday, during a nationally televised event at the Sportrock Climbing Center on Eisenhower Avenue, President Joe Biden referred to ACHS as \u201cAir Conditioning High School\u201d in yet another humorous gaffe, spawning laughter from A.C. students in attendance, Alexandria Mayor Justin Wilson, and Virginia Governor Ralph Northam.\u00a0 \u201cLook, here\u2019s the deal: we are joined today by amazing students from\u2026 uh… T.C. – A.C. Air Conditioning High School, I mean, Alexandria City High School,\u201d said Biden.\u00a0The<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The President\u2019s slip-up unintentionally brought about an unprecedented schoolwide effort to rename the school to Air Conditioning High School. \u201cNot going to lie, that name is very unique,\u201d said John Smith, a senior at ACHS. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThat name\u2019s actually pretty cool! Pun very much intended,\u201d said sophomore Frank R. Ozen.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In an exclusive interview with The Beet<\/em>, senior Joseph M. Amma, founder and leader of \u201cAir Conditioning Now,\u201d passionately demonstrated a strong sense of resolve and commaitment towards this \u201cissue of our generation.\u201d \u201cOur alumni won the championship in \u2018Remember the Titans,\u2019 and we got the school name changed, now it\u2019s time for the issue of our generation. Look, the President said it, it spread like wildfire, and now we know what we truly want instead of the name T.C. Williams – we want Air Conditioning. A unique name that will unite us all, all races, all genders, people who prefer it hot, people who prefer it cold, the AC can make us all happy – Air Conditioning must be the name of our school.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A.C. Principal Peter Balas has not responded to The Beets’<\/em> request for comment. While we currently do not know what the School Board thinks of the idea, we can certainly take pride in the fact that this unifying symbol of peace demonstrates that the students here at A.C. High School have a sense of humor, a creative mind, a commitment to an issue they find important, and are pretty cool indeed.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
