Quotes:
“A school name is like the title of a book; the title represents the story being told. When you have a title that doesn’t represent your story it can create assumptions. Our school name didn’t reflect our student body, our values, or our facility. With that being said, a change is not only wanted but needed.”
– Asiah Sparks, Grade 12 Student, Prince Andrew High School
“The name of a school is deeply important: it sets a tone for what happens inside a building, it connects people and is part of our identity. A name should reflect our school community and uphold our values as a safe and inclusive learning space for all.”
– Craig Campbell, Principal, Prince Andrew High School
