It will feature an industrial/commercial kitchen for a culinary arts program, dedicated spaces for robotics, 3D printing and design/merchandising, video broadcasting and production, and horticultural/agricultural studies. There will be an art kiln for the ceramics program, an outdoor classroom, and there are plans in place to expand the school and gymnasium to a future capacity of 1,600 students.
As per our Administrative Policy 541: Naming of Facilities, where possible, new facilities will be assigned names before construction begins, so we need your help to name this new school!
A School Naming Committee has been set up to receive nominations from the public for the school name from January 10 until February 10, 2022. The Committee will then narrow down the submissions to a shortlist of names to recommend to the Board of Trustees. The Board will announce the winning name on March 16, 2022, and the winning submission will receive a Black Gold Prize Pack!
As per AP 541, we’re looking for names that:
- Have significance for the students, parents and the community of the particular facility
- Be easily identifiable with the facility
- Not be in conflict with the names of other facilities in the Division or surrounding districts
- Have historical and/or cultural significance (e.g. Indigenous/First Nations, local/regional history, etc.)
- Be appropriate in terms of copyright and trademark provisions

Jordan Hill is the name of the most proximate former one-room school house. It was located a few quarter sections south of this new high school at the intersection of 38 Ave (Township Rd 494) and 74 St (Range Rd 254). This name would provide an interesting link to the past and showcase how much our public education system has evolved in the past century or more in Alberta, while also being a proximate place name that has had significance to the community. Side note: Unless the School Division has consulted and built relationships with members of Treaty 6 First Nations, using a word from First Nations language is probably a pretty trite approach to recognizing the peoples who have lived in this area for millennia. Look to the process used for the new Edmonton Ward names of there is interest in doing this. Another side note: Naming the high school after prominent/political figures is probably ill-advised.
