The show of support was crystal clear for a man who many call “a living legend.”. Community leaders gathered Monday evening at a meeting at the Gifford Community Center to back the effort to rename a room at Vero Beach High School after Dr. A. Ronald Hudson. Vero Beach High School, where Dr. Hudson became the first Black principal over the campus from 1981 to 1984, has an administrative suite that leaders want renamed to the “Dr. A. Ronald Hudson Administrative Suite.”
