Help name our two new public schools!
The Durham District School Board (DDSB) is inviting the broader community to help name two new schools in our District. The Unnamed Ajax Coughlan Public School and Unnamed Pickering Seaton Public School are set to open in September 2025.
We invite you to participate in the naming process by submitting your name suggestions through the appropriate link below:
Submissions must be received by Monday, March 24 at 4 p.m.
The proposed name must align with the Board’s commitment to Indigenous rights, human rights, equity, and anti-oppressive principles and practices. As outlined in our School Naming Policy, the name must reflect the name of a renowned individual of historical significance, a geographic landmark associated with the location of the school, or a significant Canadian event?
The School Naming Committee will review and consider submissions, narrowing them for a second round of community consultation. The top three choices of the school naming committee will be brought forward to the Board of Trustees, with the top choice proposed for consideration.
Your engagement underscores the collaborative spirit of our community, and we are eager to see the meaningful name that emerges for our new school.
