Langley District Invites Community to Name New Schools

The Langley District is reaching out to the community for suggestions on names for two new educational institutions set to serve the Smith area. These secondary and middle schools are expected to open in the fall of 2024, and the district has set a deadline of February 2024 for public input on potential names.

Community members are encouraged to submit their naming ideas, reflecting values that resonate with the local population and the educational mission of the schools. The district aims to foster a sense of ownership and connection, inviting residents to contribute to the legacy of these new facilities.

Engagement and Community Involvement

In a move to enhance community engagement, the Langley District has launched an online platform where residents can share their suggestions. This initiative not only promotes public involvement but also allows for a collaborative approach to naming these schools. The district is particularly interested in names that celebrate local history, culture, or significant figures in the community.

According to district officials, feedback gathered from residents will play a crucial role in the final naming decisions. Once the submission period concludes in February, the Langley District will review all suggestions and aim to announce the chosen names shortly thereafter.

Future of Education in Langley

The establishment of these new secondary and middle schools is part of the Langley District’s ongoing efforts to accommodate the growing student population in the area. With an expected enrollment of approximately 1,200 students across both schools, the district is committed to providing modern facilities that support innovative teaching and learning.

The new schools will feature state-of-the-art classrooms, recreational spaces, and resources designed to enhance the educational experience. Officials are optimistic that these institutions will not only alleviate overcrowding in existing schools but also foster a vibrant educational environment.

The Langley District invites all community members to take part in this exciting opportunity. By participating in the naming process, residents can help shape the identity of these new schools and contribute to the long-term success of education in the region.
