By now you must realize that Central High School, as we know it, will close next fall. Our student body, faculty, and staff will relocate permanently to a new, modernized campus two miles away. Also, the district is reassigning approximately fifty students from Overton High School to this new facility in order to alleviate overcrowding on their campus. Along with the change in location, the school board is considering a change in the name of the new school and has even begun accepting suitable names from the community. We, the editorial staff of the Central High Bear Print, strongly oppose the name change.2We understand the reasons that have been given for the name change. Students from Overton might not want to finish their high school career under the name of their archrival the Central High Bears. As Overton student body president Daksi Patel said at the last school board meeting, "We Overton students decry the mandatory transfer of any of us to another high school, but we vehemently oppose our athletes and scholars being forced to wear the unwelcome name Central High Bears."3In addition, we at Bear Print recognize the view of some community members that the new campus affords our town the opportunity to begin anew. Indeed, our local newspaper recently published an editorial calling for a name change for the new high school "in order to afford newcomers participation in ground up community building and to put a fresh, collaborative face on our townWe would argue, however, that the School Board could address the resistance by Overton students to complete their secondary requirements at Central. The designated admission targets could be satisfied by soliciting volunteers to transfer from Overton to Central. Central has several career-path academies, which provide students with curricular relevance for career and college, academic rigor, and individualized guidance.

My high school years at Central were full of friends, outstanding teachers, and a culture of high expectations." And lest we forget, it was the Central High School Bears who won the regional science competition last year and the state basketball championship year-before-last.
