New HSE District school will be named Deer Creek Elementary

When HSE Schools begin construction on the new Wayne Township elementary school, it will have a name.  The school Board voted to name the new building Deer Creek Elementary.

The name is a tip-of-the-hat to the original name for the nearby music center, originally named Deer Creek but in recent years has been named after a commercial sponsor.

There was a discussion of having a virtual ground-breaking ceremony.  There was a board discussion and many, with the pandemic in mind, would be willing to forgo the traditional ground-breaking event.  There was no board vote on that issue.
