[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Out of all the new options, I prefer Western, but I'm pretty pissed that they didn't include Oak Hill as an option.[/quote]

Same. Why are they considering high school names with just one vote when Oak Hill and Sully are top five? I'm another one who doesn't want it named after a person.

My high school was a geographic/location name, and it was great. My middle school was renamed after an educator with an unfortunate name, especially for a middle school. Still cringeworthy decades later.

Skyview had ONE vote! It's a ridiculous name thst sounds like a restaurant in a skyscraper or a school in Big Sky, Montana.

Oak Hill had tons of votes, as evidently listed on both page 1 and page 113 of the document with name suggestions.

Oak Hill is the best choice.[/quote]

Agree.  The post office is less than a mile away.  Some people said it was "too close" to Oakton--yet "Western" is not close to Westfield?
A lot of the people "mock" the use of Oak Hill, but it is a good name for the school as it identifies the area.

My guess:  they will name it after a person.  Dumb idea.  Living or dead, things get "discovered" later that are troubling.  And, "Discovery?"  "Endeavor" makes it sound like they are trying too hard to move into the 22nd Century.  Something out of a movie.
