Langley District Invites Community to Name Two New Schools

The Langley District is calling on local residents to contribute names for two new schools being built in the Smith area. The district aims to finalize these names by February 2024, encouraging community involvement in a decision that will shape the identity of these educational institutions.

In a statement, the Langley District emphasized the importance of community engagement in this naming process. The district believes that naming the schools after individuals or concepts that resonate with local values will foster a strong connection between the schools and their surroundings.

Two new schools will serve the growing population in the Smith area, which has seen significant residential development in recent years. The new secondary and middle schools are part of a broader initiative to enhance educational facilities in the region. According to the district’s plans, these schools are anticipated to open in time for the 2024-2025 academic year.

Community members are encouraged to submit their suggestions through the district’s website or during public forums scheduled in the coming weeks. The Langley District has committed to reviewing all submissions and selecting names that reflect the community’s diverse heritage and aspirations.

The naming initiative is seen as an opportunity for residents to take pride in their schools and ensure that the chosen names resonate with the values of the community. The district hopes that this collaborative approach will not only strengthen ties within the community but also promote a sense of ownership and responsibility among students and families.

As the deadline approaches, local residents are urged to participate actively in this process. The Langley District is excited to see the creativity and thoughtfulness of the community’s suggestions, which will ultimately contribute to the legacy of these new educational facilities.
