New 7-9 school in Cold Lake

Consultation has concluded

In September 2023, the current Cold Lake Middle School will become a the new public Grade 7-9 school in Cold Lake! Students from all areas of the city will go there before heading to Cold Lake High School for grades 10-12.

In November, a focus group of students from Art Smith Aviation Academy, Cold Lake Middle School and Nelson Heights Middle School spent a day discussing what the new school might look and feel like and what would make all students feel welcome. You can read more about what they talked about on the right hand side of this page.

Now we want to hear from all of our future Grade 7-9 students about what they think the name of the school should be, what colours you think would look good, what team name/mascot the school should have, and what name the student common area should have. Eventually we will even have new logos for you to give us feedback on!

To participate, check out the tools below and follow the instructions.

Voting on school names has now closed. We look forward to bringing your suggestions and the results of your vote to the NLPS Board of Trustees for consideration.

For week five (Feb. 7 - 11) you can suggest new names for the student commons area.
