“Paired with One Sky, the name reflects a shared sense of connection, belonging and relationship across the communities the school will serve, while honouring Indigenous language, culture and ways of knowing.”

According to the school board, the name was chosen after a multi‑year process that included community input.

A shortlist of nine names was reviewed by the cultural guidance advisory committee, and the board of education approved the final name on Feb. 10.
