FCPS is turning the new high school purchased to fix crowding into an Aviation magnet school instead of a high school??

May I suggest “Ellen Ochoa High School”, the first Hispanic American woman astronaut?

Do not name it after a person. Period.

Why not just call it "Floris HS" if you don't like "Dulles HS"? Dulles does span across both Fairfax and Loudoun and it's future-proof if they do something special aviation-related at some point.

Tech sounds like a vocational school. I am all for vocational schools, but this school should be a traditional school.

Wait... what?!

FCPS is spending $100,000 on a new name study??

You cannot be serious.

Assign it to the kids who might get rezoned there and have them research the name as a civics project.

Give the winner a $1000.00 scholarship and 4 runners up a $500.00 scholarship.

Do the same for the mascot.

Have 1 or 2 gatehouse employees tgat we are already paying to work the project of researching the 5 finalists for controversy.

Have one of the high school stat or computer science classes develop the survey for voting on the einners, incorporating it with a lesson on how to protect surveys from bot responses, using software snd programs FCPS already pays huge licensing fees to.

Done.

Total cost, $6000.00 in scholarship money for FCPS students.

LOL!

When Oak Hill Post Office was opened, the community voted on the name and chose Oak Hill. The post office is one mile from the new high school.

those are good ideas but I am hoping that PP who said $100K was joking.

They could call it Innovation High School after the nearby Metro Stop. Mascot could be the Intimidators. The Innovation name could also tie into the Superintendent's pet project for an Aviation/AI academy at the school.
