HAMPTON, Va., August 31, 2011--Peninsula Town Center in Hampton will pay tribute to all area teachers by officially dedicating one of its two parks in honor of four renowned female educators, all with the same first name, on Saturday September 17, 2011 at 11 a.m.

Marys Park commemorates Mary Johnson, a Hampton teacher and civil rights leader who passed away in July at the age of 95; the late Mary Passage, who gave 31 years to the Newport News school system, which in 1965 made her the first female high school principal on the Peninsula; Mary Christian, a Hampton school teacher who rose to Dean of the School of Liberal Arts and Education at Hampton University before being elected to the Virginia House of Delegates in 1986; and Mary Peake, who taught children of former slaves who had sought refuge at Union-held Fort Monroe.
