Welcome!
No schools or parts of schools are in the process of naming or renaming at this time. If you would like to propose the naming of a part of your school, please work with the corresponding Campus Advisory Council to initiate the process outlined below.
School Naming Process
The naming process may be initiated by the ¼öƬapp Board of Trustees, ¼öƬapp Senior Leadership or by a majority vote of the school Campus Advisory Council.
- If the process is initiated by a CAC, please submit a promotional request to the Department of Communications and Community Engagement to kickoff the engagement process with a press release, website and online nomination form.
- The CAC determines if the entire committee will serve as the naming committee or if a subcommittee will be formed.
- The naming committee must schedule at least three meetings to:
- Develop a strategy for gathering name submissions from a broad cross-section of the campus community including where possible, students, families, staff, alumni and community members.
- Review and tally name submissions and prepare candidate descriptions/rationale.
- Vote on the top three candidates and submit the top three choices in rank order with explanation and documentation, including full nomination form responses and committee meeting minutes.
- DCCE reviews the top three names and submits background checks before bringing the recommendations to the board.
- The board discusses the possible names at a Board Information Session and schedules a potential vote for the following Board Voting Meeting.
- DCCE publicizes the new name through a media release, socials and website.
