New high school to be named Whitewater

Fayette's fifth

high school will be named Whitewater High.

And the complex

that includes that school and Sara Harp Minter Elementary School, under

construction on Ga. Highway 85 south of Fayetteville, will be known as

The Goza Road Educational Complex. Construction of the high school is

expected to go out for bid in May, officials said.

Fayette's Board

of Education approved those two names, and named a planned new elementary

school at Ga. Highway 74 and Crabapple Lane the Crabapple Lane Elementary

School.

Names also

were approved for the evening high school and the county's alternative

school: The Fayette County Evening High School and The Fayette County

Alternative Educational Program.

The board agreed

with staff's recommendation to put off naming a school to be built on

the Katz property in Peachtree City, along with the system's planned new

charter school, until a year prior to their opening.

Meanwhile,

a committee charged with naming the schools has put together quite a list

of proposed names, said Superintendent John DeCotis. "We can use

some of those extra names for media centers, school wings and buildings

on some of the campuses," he said.
