The Hanover School Division’s board of trustees has chosen an official name for the new high school being constructed in Niverville. The school, set to open on schedule in September 2019, will be called Niverville High School.
“The school name was chosen after receiving community feedback from students, parents/guardians, staff, and community members,” reads a statement from the board. “The board-appointed Naming Committee received over 100 name suggestions. The chosen name reflects feedback received, and aligns with the Board’s desire for the school name to retain its distinct community identity.”
Niverville High School will accommodate Grades 9 through 12, whereas the current Niverville Collegiate Institute will be converted into a school for Grades 5 through 8 and be renamed Niverville Middle School.
“The Board thanks all those who participated in the naming process,” the statement concludes. “We look forward to the opening of Niverville High School.”
