celebrate a renowned person of historical significance to the Halton community
recognize the geography, history, or culture of the community

Suggestions can be made:

Suggestions will be accepted until Friday, Feb. 5, 2021.

Each name that is submitted will be reviewed by a committee which will include parent/guardian representation. A shortlist of names will be prepared and presented to the Board of Trustees who will select the final name.

Trustees will select the final name at one of the regularly scheduled Board meetings in March 2021. The selected name for the school will be announced in a news release and posted on the Halton District School Board website at www.hdsb.ca and social media.
