Walker Named Goose Creek School After Local Hero
The Goose Creek district board voted 4-3 to name the new elementary school Victoria Walker Elementary after Walker, a Black educator born in 1905 who taught at Cedar Bayou and Goose Creek schools from 1933 to 1971 and died in 2002 at age 97. The meeting showed support for Texas heroes but Walker prevailed as the chosen namesake.
