The school board's recent decision to pivot on the name, colors and mascot of the new consolidated high school was a logical choice — with just one wrinkle, writes Hoptown Chronicle editor Jennifer P. Brown.
During a special meeting, the school board voted to approve construction bids for the consolidated high school and ditched a name it had chosen last year.
The construction bids, which came in considerably higher than the district projected, will be discussed at Thursday's Christian County Board of Education meeting.
Hoptown Chronicle editor Jennifer P. Brown gives her thoughts on the name and mascot selected for the new, consolidated high school — and how the community could pay tribute to the past, present and future when it opens.
The primary concern is what some consider a lack of communication between the board and county residents, saying there were ongoing discussions before the public was made aware in May 2021.
