The former elementary school houses the Cardinal Autism Resource Education School, which Hoynes initiated during her tenure as superintendent
The Mentor Schools Board of Education renamed the former Headlands Elementary building as the Dr. Jacqueline A. Hoynes School in honor of the district's erstwhile superintendent Tuesday evening.
