Editor:
Why change the name of New West Secondary School at all? It already reflects inclusion in its student body. It has had previous changes to its name, from Vincent Massey (grades 7-9), Lester Pearson (grades 10-12) to New West Secondary in 1967.
Why another one?
It seems that many of our neighbouring Lower Mainland secondary schools don’t object to a school name that reflects its city or location: Burnaby South, Burnaby North, Burnaby Central, North Delta, Delta, North Surrey and Richmond.
I would like to see New Westminster’s school keep its name.
