Greene Elementary School has been renamed "Cardinal Elementary School".

The school formed a renaming team made up of parents, teachers, students and community members to get input on the new names.

Officials recommended Cardinal because it was the preferred choice of most students and families in the Greene school zone, who thought it best represented their school culture.

Greene was named for E.S.H. Greene, who spent 35 years working for the Chesterfield County school system as a teacher, principal and superintendent. It’s one of several Chesterfield schools that became Richmond schools after annexation in 1970.
