Henson won a straw poll, forcing Principal Goodman to fend off jokes about 'Muppet High.' But just before the name became official, the Henson foundation declined the honor.  Goodman says despite the last-minute switch, she was pleased with the outcome.  Until, that is, someone pointed out a potential nickname for the school: U-B High.  'So we go by Blake,' says Goodman.}}</ref>
