This school janitor of 39 years just got a school named after her

Aubrey, Texas, named its new elementary school after retired district custodian Marilyn Hampton. She had kept supplies available for pupils, helped with homework and repaired a child's torn clothes. Hampton said she nearly left school herself when she could not afford materials; a superintendent helped her find paid work.

The board president, once a student there, recalled Hampton opening the school on a Saturday so he and his friends could play basketball. The board voted unanimously to name the campus for her; the district has also honored other longtime staff.
