Ever wanted to name a school? You can in Prince William

Prince William County is playing the name game with one of two elementary schools slated to open next fall.

The school board’s naming committee has issued an open call for name suggestions for the to-be building at 8301 Linton Hall Road in Bristow.

But those looking to submit ideas shouldn’t go too crazy: The committee is looking for names that are geographic, historical, or honor a deceased person who made local, state, or national service contributions.

Suggestions are due by Dec. 1, and can be e-mailed to [email protected] or mailed to School Division’s Community Relations Office, P.O. Box 389, Manassas, VA 20108.

The other Prince William elementary school opening in fall 2011 has been named T. Clay Wood Elementary School after a former school board member and county supervisor.
