Coleman House is named after Katherine Johnson, whose maiden name was Coleman. Katherine Johnson was a pioneering mathematician whose extraordinary calculations played a crucial role in some of NASA's most important space missions. 

Born in 1918, Katherine demonstrated an exceptional talent for mathematics from an early age. At a time when opportunities were severely limited for women and Black Americans, she overcame significant barriers to pursue her education and career. 

Katherine went on to work for NASA, where her mathematical calculations helped determine the flight paths and trajectories of spacecraft. Her work played an important role in the early American space programme, including John Glenn's orbital mission. 

Her remarkable story demonstrates the power of knowledge, determination and resilience. She is an inspiring example of someone who used her exceptional mathematical ability to help achieve what had once seemed impossible. 

Our Crest 

The Coleman House crest features a globe, stars and a sweeping flight path, representing Katherine Johnson's remarkable contribution to space exploration. The flight path reflects the trajectories and orbital calculations that formed an important part of her work.
