Four schools opening in 2010 need names

Northside ISD needs help from the community to name new schools. The District now is accepting name nominations for three elementary schools and a middle school opening in 2010.

The deadline to submit a nomination is Jan. 16. Only nominations submitted on the official nomination form will be considered. All questions must be answered. Final selection of school names will be made by the Board of Trustees April 28.

For more details about the nomination process or to submit a nomination online, visit the Name A School web site.

Board members will consider naming elementary schools after the area or subdivision in which they are located or after individuals who have made significant contributions to education in Northside or the community.

Middle schools can be named after prominent state leaders who have made significant contributions to education.

The four schools opening in 2010 that need names are:

• "Alamo Ranch area" Middle School
• "Canterbury Farm area" Elementary School
• "Kallison Ranch area #1" Elementary School
• "Laurel Mountain Ranch area" Elementary School

All four schools are funded by School Bond 2007. William J. Brennan High School also will open in 2010 and already has been named after a U.S. Supreme Court Justice, per Board policy.
