First the building was the original Greenbelt High School. Then it was Greenbelt Junior High School. Next it was Greenbelt Middle School. Now it is Dora Kennedy French Immersion with a new wayside panel to celebrate its history. The plaque was unveiled by the Greenbelt City Council on Saturday, June 1. The historical panel, designed and implemented by Megan Young of the Greenbelt Museum, shows the school’s various roles and commemorates the students who attended. Built in the same style as the original Greenbelt homes, the building “is part of the architecture that is basically the framework of all historic Greenbelt,” Mayor Emmett Jordan said at the gathering for the unveiling. The building’s various functions are shown in pictures as well as depicted in the text. Young said she was particularly glad to find images that show the diversity of the students as well as the diversity of uses.
