School Naming & Mascot Suggestions

The Stafford County School Board is seeking community input on the naming of High School 6 (HS 6), as well as its school colors and mascots. Your voice matters in shaping the identity of these new schools!

How the Naming Process Works

1. Community Input Period
   • A 30-day public comment period is open for suggestions on school names, colors, and mascots.
   • Suggestions can be submitted electronically via the form below.
2. Committee Review
   • A naming committee, appointed by the superintendent, will review all suggestions.
   • The committee consists of the school's future principal, a School Board representative, parents, staff, students, and community members.
3. Student Survey for Colors & Mascots
   • Students zoned to attend the new schools will have an opportunity to vote on school colors and mascots.
4. Final Selection Process
   • The committee will recommend two name options and two sets of school colors and mascots to the superintendent.
   • The School Board will review these recommendations, allow for public comment, and make a final decision.

Naming Guidelines

• Elementary Schools: Named after the street the school is on, a historical or current name of the area, or a Stafford County resident of historical significance.

• Middle Schools: Named after a Stafford County educator who has made significant contributions and has been deceased for at least 10 years.

• High Schools: Named after the street the school is on, a historical or current name of the area, or a Stafford County resident of historical significance.

• Avoid Confusion: Names that could be mistaken for other schools in Stafford County or nearby areas should be avoided.
