BUFFALO, N.Y. — On Tuesday, leaders in the City of Buffalo and Buffalo Public Schools dedicated two blocks of Elmwood Avenue to the late Crystal Boling-Barton.
She was a former McKinley High School principal and was a school teacher before becoming an administrator.
Boling-Barton passed away in June of 2022.
Six street signs are now hung along Elmwood, with the name "Principal Crystal Boling-Barton Way."
"Sometimes you don't know how much your work matters until you're gone from the work. And today is for all who she loved, mentored, and inspired," Dr. Tonja Williams, Superintendent of BPS said.
You'll now see the six new signs along Elmwood Avenue between Middlesex Road and Fordham Drive.
