New Names Approved for Two Schools in Anderson South Carolina

Anderson County has 2 new schools in District 5! The new elementary school planned for a location over on 81N near the Sullivan-King Mortuary will be named North Pointe Elementary. The name was chosen from more than 30 names suggested by District Five residents. The name was chosen since it helps define the location of the school.

The Hanna-Westside Extension Campus also received a new name Tuesday night. Trustees voted to rename the school the Anderson V Career Campus. More than 40 suggested names were received from District Five residents as the board sought to find a name that did a better job of explaining the purpose of the school.

Site development for North Pointe Elementary is continuing. The new school is scheduled to be completed by the beginning of the 2012-2013 school year. It will be the 11th elementary school in the district.
