When HSE Schools begins 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 groundbreaking ceremony. There was a board discussion and many, with the pandemic in mind, would be willing to forgo the traditional groundbreaking event. There was no board vote on that issue.
