Student panel presents three finalists for new East Central elementary school name
Summary
A student committee presented three finalist names for a new elementary school. Student representative Hannah Coddy and Charlene Hicks described the community process; trustees debated preferred options including 'Tradition' and 'Victory'.
A student‑led naming committee presented three finalist names for the district’s new elementary school and answered trustees’ questions.
Hannah Coddy, a student at Harvey Elementary, and Charlene Hicks summarized a multi‑phase process: students brainstormed names individually, worked through three narrowing phases with parents and staff, and selected a top three to present to trustees. Trustees discussed options raised during the community exercise — candidates mentioned in the discussion included Tradition, Victory, Pride and Champion — and asked for motions to advance the naming process.
Board members complimented Hannah and the student participants for their work and noted that student involvement in the naming process was a first for the district. The board indicated next steps would follow the district’s naming policy and any formal recommendation would return to the board for action.
