Sir Wilfrid Laurier School Board (SWLSB) commissioners voted, March 25, to narrow down the choices to name two of its high schools to three each. <\/p>\n

SWLSB came up with the idea for a naming contest as it readies to merge four Chomedey high schools into two, July 1. The current school names are: Laval Liberty High School, Laurier Senior High School, Mother Teresa Junior High School and Laval Junior High School.<\/p>\n

SWLSB sifted through nearly 500 potential new names proposed by the public and conveyed five of them for each of the two to the schools\u2019 provisional governing boards, who trimmed the list to three each. <\/p>\n

\u201cThere was a lot of duplication,\u201d SWLSB chair Jennifer Maccarone told The Suburban. Despite that, she said, there remained about 320 names for school officials to comb through. <\/p>\n

SWLSB has invited the public to vote on which name will ultimately be selected for each of the schools. Here are the names that are in the running: <\/p>\n

SENIOR<\/b> <\/p>\n

\u2022 Laval Senior Academy
\u2022 Laval Senior High School
\u2022 Sir Wilfrid Laurier Senior Academy<\/p>\n

\nJUNIOR<\/b> <\/div>\n
\n\u2022 Laval Junior Academy
\u2022 Central Laval Junior High School
\u2022 Sir Wilfrid Laurier Junior High School <\/p>\n

\u201cAnyone can vote,\u201d Maccarone said in an interview. \u201cIt\u2019s absolutely open to the public.\u201d<\/p>\n

To cast a ballot, visit https:\/\/www.surveymonkey.com\/r\/evote_laval_high_schools<\/a> <\/p>\n

\u201cWe received more than 2,000 votes during the first two days of balloting,\u201d Maccarone enthused. \u201cThe vote closes April 20. We will announce the names at our April 22 council meeting.\u201d
