A new North Miami high school will be named after former NBA star Alonzo Mourning, rather than the first female U.S. Attorney General, Janet Reno. A naming committee had earlier settled on the Alonzo and Tracy Mourning Senior High School Biscayne Bay Campus. The Miami-Dade School Board on Wednesday gave it the final OK. Mourning was a star for the Miami Heat, but it was the work he and his wife have done in local schools, including mentoring, that spurred the nomination.
