Name Suggestions Wanted For New Pasco County School

LAND O' LAKES, FL — The Pasco County School Board is seeking community input into the naming of a new school under construction in the Angeline development in central Pasco County near the Suncoast Parkway Ridge Road exit.

The school will be a dedicated STEAM magnet school with grades six through 12 and is scheduled to open in the fall of 2023.

School board policy encourages community members, educators and students to submit suggestions for school names. The board encourages names that involve the general location of the school, features of the area or historical information.

If the suggested name is a person, it should be a person of either local or national prominence recognized for his or her outstanding civic or educational contribution. If the person is an elected official or a former school district employee, he or she must be either deceased, no longer in public office or no longer employed in the school district for at least two years.

Suggestions submitted on this form before Monday, Sept. 5, will be considered by the school board. The name of the new school will be determined by a vote of the school board.

Located on 18.8 acres south of State Road 52, north of the Ridge Road Extension and west of Sun Lake Boulevard, the new 187,000-square-foot magnet middle and high school will be built to accommodate 1,700 students.
