New High School Naming & Mascot
You have until FRIDAY to submit your ideas!
Good Afternoon!
Just a friendly reminder that this Friday, September 4 is the deadline to submit ideas for naming our new school as well as ideas for a school mascot. We've had lots of submissions so far, but we want to hear from everyone! All students currently in grades K-10 in the new high school boundaries, as well as their family members, are welcome to submit name and mascot ideas via this form. Individuals may submit multiple entries and I would encourage you to research and consider the history surrounding the school’s location when considering a name. I will narrow the list in consultation with Dr. Cain and members of his cabinet and make a recommendation to the Board of Education at their regular meeting on September 17. If the name selected by the Board was submitted by only one individual, that individual will be recognized by myself and in District communication regarding the new name.
If you are currently in 9th or 10th grade, you should have also received this information about making your selection for the new high school. Current freshmen and sophomores will have the choice to attend the new high school or remain at their current school. Juniors will remain at their current school for their senior year. Families will have until the end of September to make this important decision. While this date may seem early, it is necessary in order to staff the building appropriately to meet our students’ needs.
Thank you for taking the time to submit ideas. Your voice is important and valued! Feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions about our new school!
Your proud principal,
Dr. Amanda Shelmire
