School Renaming Announcement, Website, and Nomination Form

Posted: 10/25/2022 8:41 am

The Heath School has begun the process of selecting a new name for our school; please explore these resources Moving Forward Letter, October 2022 and www.brookline.k12.ma.us/renameheath to learn why. Naming a school is important. A school name should represent the spirit, virtues, and soul of its community. As community members, we have a unique responsibility and an incredible opportunity to choose a name that we can honor and celebrate.

The new name we choose should:

• Uplift a person, place, or event that exemplifies those core beliefs and reflects our community’s past, present, and future (see Town Bylaws)
• Reaffirm our commitment to fostering an equity-focused, aspirational, inclusive, and mindful community
• Demonstrate our commitment to Brookline as a great place to learn and grow
• Be an exemplar for students in our care now and for those students to come
• Recognize the contributions of all people to the town’s rich history

If you have ideas about a nominee for a new school name, we encourage you to fill out this form: https://forms.gle/aHVyyvHp1zJaehsH7 This could be a terrific activity for the whole family!

Thank you for your thoughtful ideas!

Dr. Asa Sevelius, Ed.D.
Heath School Principal
