Board seeks name for
"new" Deep River school
Name
that school!
Public input is being sought by the Renfrew County District School
Board (RCDSB) for a name for the new Junior Kindergarten-Grade 12
facility being built at the current site of Mackenzie High School.
When it opens for business next September, the school will house all
the public elementary and secondary students from Deep River,
Laurentian Hills and Head, Clara and Maria.
An advisory committee has been set up by the school board to come up
with a name for the school and is seeking both online and written
submissions.
The submissions must include a reason, preferably not more than one
page in length, supporting each name choice, with the proviso that
every choice must reflect the mission statement, vision and values of
the RCDSB.
The online name survey and supporting documents can be found at
www.renfrew.edu.on.ca/schoolname.
Hard copies of the same documents can be picked up at the Chalk River,
Deep River and Point Alexander public libraries, as well as at the Deep
River town hall.
Once completed, they can be dropped off at Morison School, Mackenzie,
or at the three afore-mentioned libraries.
The survey is open to community members at large, as well as students
and staff at Keys, Mackenzie and Morison.
The advisory committee will review all the submissions, then shortlist
three names and submit a recommendation to school board trustees, along
with its rationale.
