Help us find a name
We are excited to announce that a new elementary school (TK-8) will soon be opening in our district!
The new school will be located on approximately thirteen (13) acres in the Victoria Ranch/Aten subdivision. As we prepare for the opening of this new school, we want to give our community the opportunity to participate in an important part of its creation: naming the school. We believe that the name of our new school should reflect the values, history, and aspirations of our community, and who better to help us find the perfect name than the people who live, work, and contribute to our community every day?
We invite you to submit suggestions for the new school’s name.
Whether it's a name that honors a local historical figure, reflects the unique character of our community, or represents the hope and dreams we have for future generations, we want to hear from you!
