School Name Change
We have recently been charged with leading a historic event in our school history; working together as a school community to rename our site. At a Santa Rosa City Schools' (SRCS) Board of Education meeting this summer, it was requested that we change the name of our school site. As outlined in the revised SRCS Board Policy, this will be an inclusive process, which will involve input from our school community.
An important part of this process involves the development of a Community Advisory Committee, which assists with renaming of our school. The role of the Community Advisory Committee will be to review the Facilities Naming request forms and develop a list of names for the Board’s consideration and provide background on the names recommended to the Board. Please note, the SRCS Board of Education has the final responsibility for naming the facilities.
