As with the other new or remodeled schools, the Board of Education is taking nominations for a school name. The current name may be nominated.

Naming/Renaming of a School

In selecting the name of a school, the Board will consider:

1. Geographic locations.
2. General features of the area in which the school is located.
3. Other names consistent with educational themes.
4. Individuals may be considered if they meet all of the following criteria:

a. Must be deceased.
b. Have a distinguished record of service and is recognized as a
figure of national prominence.
c. Exemplify achievement and qualities in which students and
community can take pride.
d. Naming the school after this individual should have broad
recognition and acceptance throughout our multi-cultural
society.
e. Naming the school after this individual will positively impact
the education of the students.

A school naming committee will collect the nominations and select no more than three for further evaluation. These names will then be made available for review and ranking by students, parents, and community members via US mail.

Once this ranking process has been completed, the committee will forward no more than two preferred names to the superintendent for recommendation to the Board of Education.
