Before the new school opens, the public has a chance to submit their ideas on a name for the facility. Those with ideas can share them by filling out a school naming form, available at the division website.

Criteria for names can also be found through the school division website. Submissions must be sent to Garrett Simmons at garrett.simmons@lethsd.ab.ca by February 15, 2024. Additionally, physical forms can be dropped off at the Lethbridge School Division Education Centre at 433-15 Street South.
