No one’s taking any risks with the new name for Cornwallis Junior High School.
The school’s advisory council met Monday night to review the options and has settled on Halifax Central High School.
The name still needs to be approved by the Halifax Regional School Board before it becomes official.
In an email to the Herald, the council says it received many “interesting” suggestions and making the final choice was a tough process.
The school board voted unanimously in June to change the school’s name at the suggestion of Mi’kmaq member Kirk Arsenault, who said the school shouldn’t be named after a man who put a bounty on the scalps of natives.
