Namesake※
The school's name commemorates Dejazmach Gebre Mariam Gari, who was an Ethiopian anti-fascist resistance fighter during the Second Italo-Ethiopian War and the subsequent Italian occupation of Ethiopia. His name, Gebre Mariam, translates to “servant of Mary”.
The hyphen in the "school's name is due to a French punctuation convention." (See French orthography#Hyphens)
