The school will be in the Double Diamond area of the South Meadows. It’s scheduled to open in fall 2019 and relieve crowding at Brown and Double Diamond elementary schools.
Eleven voting members make up the naming committee: seven parents or guardians (one from each trustee district), two at-large members, one high school student, and one school district representative.

The school naming committee holds its first public meeting at 5:30 p.m. Aug. 2 at Academy of Arts, Careers and Technology High School, 380 Edison Way. For a meeting agenda, click here.
