What’s in an elementary school name? For Fulton County school leaders, there’s a lot to consider when naming a new school.
A Fulton school committee formed to come up with recommendations for the name of a new school off Ga. 9 in North Fulton has come up with three possibilities. Fulton school board members are expected to discuss those options at a meeting Thursday.
The committee's top pick is Vickery Mill Elementary, which they say "relates to the historic mill of the city of Roswell which was founded on Vickery Creek. The mill was the power that brought life to the Roswell area."
Second pick: Azalea Mill Elementary, which “honors the history of the mill and … the new tradition of the Azalea Festival of Roswell.”
And third: Painted Rock Elementary, the “Native American name for the Chattahoochee River that possibly refers to the many colorful granite outcroppings along the northeast-to -southwest segment of the river.”
