AISD seeks naming suggestions for 3 facilities

The Alvin Independent School District Board of Trustees is seeking input from the community on suggestions for the name of three new facilities that will be opening in the next two years, Elementary #14 in Shadow Creek Ranch in Pearland, Junior High #6 in Rodeo Palms in Manvel and the Agricultural Science Center in Manvel.

According to board policy, the responsibility for naming facilities rests with the Board of Trustees. As in the past, a committee has been formed to accept suggestions and make a recommendation to the Board on the name of the building.
Board policy also states that school facilities shall be named for persons or places. If the name of a person is to be considered, that individual should have attained prominence locally or nationally in the fields of education, science, art, statesmanship, political science, or military achievement; or have been an early Texas pioneer, or an outstanding president of the United States. If the name of a place is to be considered, the criteria should include historical relevance.

There are specific guidelines that govern the naming of facilities after persons, living or deceased. The person should have made a significant contribution to society; the name should lend prestige and status to an institution of learning; and the nomination must be presented in a brief two paragraph statement that should contain biographical and/or historical data and reasons justifying the choice. Petitions are not acceptable.

Suggestions should be delivered to Shirley Brothers at the Alvin ISD Administration Building at 301 East House St., Alvin., Texas 77511 or e-mailed to Brothers at sbrother@alvinisd.net by September 7. All submissions should be signed and must include the name, address and phone number of the person making the suggestion. Petitions will not be accepted.
The Alvin ISD Board of Trustees will make the final determination on the names of the building. For more information about the process for naming the facilities, please call Brothers at 281-245-2460.
