What's in a Name?

In case you missed the two pizza lunches that Executive Director Jeff Barratt hosted to discuss the possibility of changing the school name, you may see the power point presentation at the below link. About 60 staff attended one of the two lunches and the discussions were very good. There was overwhelming consensus that it is time to change our name to include the words technical college and keep the words Emily Griffith in the name. We are also exploring a possible tag line to go with the name change and the staff will also have an opportunity to participate in that process. Please feel free to continue to email your thoughts and suggestions.
