NEW ORLEANS (WGNO) — Businesswoman and owner of the New Orleans Saints and Pelicans, Gayle Benson, will have a school named in her honor.
The Algiers Charter Board of Trustees officials voted on April 24 to rename Martin Behrman Charter School as Gayle Benson Academy.
Benson, who was born and raised in Old Algiers, graduated from Martin Behrman in 1966 and has since become a business leader and philanthropist. The honor will highlight her contributions to the City of New Orleans.
“This is a moment of pride and purpose for our entire organization,” said Tammi Griffin-Major, the CEO of Algiers Charter. “Mrs. Benson’s extraordinary commitment to our city and its future aligns beautifully with our mission to empower students through education. We are honored to carry her name into the next generation of leadership and learning.”
School board officials said the school has served as a hub for educational achievement and student development on the West Bank.
“I am deeply humbled by this recognition. Education is the foundation of a strong community, and I firmly believe in investing in the success of young people. As a Martin Behrman graduate, this recognition holds special meaning for me. I am proud to support a school that is transforming lives and shaping the future of New Orleans.”
