The Ballston Spa Central School District Board of Education announced the name for the district’s newest elementary school, set for completion this coming summer.
Students at the current Milton Terrace South Elementary School helped choose the new name for the school that they will occupy in the fall of 2013 and presented their rankings to the Board for consideration. The top four names selected in a school-wide voting process were Gordon Creek Elementary, Brookside Elementary, Iron Springs Elementary and Ballston Springs Elementary.
The Milton Terrace South Elementary School Student Council representatives led the selection process and presented the names to the Board of Education at their Dec. 5th meeting. The Board of Education members voted for their choice and the name “Gordon Creek Elementary School” was unanimously decided to be the name of Ballston Spa’s newest school.
Construction of the new school continues to be completed. The current Milton Terrace South Elementary School is scheduled to move into the building at the end of the school year. The current Malta Avenue Elementary School will then occupy the vacated space during renovations in their building, scheduled to begin during the summer of 2013.
