Recently, the People's Committee of Thanh Hoa province has decided to change the name of Hoang Le Kha High School (in Ha Trung district) to Hoang Le Kha High School, after more than 30 years of this school having an incorrect name.
According to the authorities, the reason for the above name mistake is that initially, the historical figure's information was not fully updated, so there was a mistake from "Hoang Le Kha" to "Hoang Le Kha".
According to the research, Hoang Le Kha High School (formerly) was called Trung Son High School. Until 1992, it was called Hoang Le Kha High School until today, the school is located in Ha Trung town.
In 1992, the school was moved to Do Len town (now Ha Trung town) with the name Hoang Le Kha High School.
"After 32 years, the school's name was changed to the exact name of the historical figure. Since the 2024-2025 school year, the school has been named after martyr Hoang Le Kha, which is a great joy for generations of teachers and students of the school," Ms. Mai Thi Xuan - Principal of Hoang Le Kha High School happily shared.
According to historical records, Mr. Hoang Le Kha's real name is Hoang Le Can (born in 1917, in Trang Cac village, Ngo Xa commune - now Trang Cac sub-region, Ha Trung town, Ha Trung district, Thanh Hoa province).
In 1931, he went to Hanoi to study and began participating in the revolution. In 1936, he was admitted to the Indochinese Communist Party and assigned to work in the South. During his participation in the revolution, he held many important positions.
In August 1959, he was captured by the enemy and executed in Tam Hap hamlet, Trang Lon (now Suoi Muon hamlet, Thai Binh commune, Chau Thanh district, Tay Ninh province). In 1997, he was posthumously awarded the title of Hero of the People's Armed Forces by the State.
Later, in some localities, martyr Hoang Le Kha named some schools and roads after him.
