Keep It Simple
ADVERTISEMENT
Published: July 16, 2008
The Pasco County School District is building a high school in the Holiday area that is scheduled to open at the start of the 2009-10 school year. Since the school, per School District policy, is now known only as "High School FFF," it is going to need a less prosaic name. The district is asking the public for suggestions on what the school should be named. The School Board will have the final say on the naming.
Naming schools has been an interesting proposition in Pasco County. More than districts in other area counties, Pasco seems to have ended up with a great number of schools named after people who were either school administrators or School District officials. There are, for example, schools named after various former school superintendents, Tom Weightman, Ray Stewart and John Long, district administrators Mary Giella and Chuck Rushe and former School Board member James Marlowe. Then there is J.W. Mitchell, the husband of former School Board member Dorothy Mitchell, who donated the land for the high school in the Trinity area that bears his name.
Maybe this time we should keep things simple. Pasco County has Hudson High School, in northwestern Pasco, so why not just name the new school in southwestern Pasco Holiday High School.
