Catholic Board Looks At New School Names

What's in a name.

Plenty if your school is named after a Saint.

The Kenora Catholic District School Board has agreed to change
the name of it's school in Red Lake.

St. John's Separate School will now be simply known as St. John School.

Principal Michelle Sawa says they made the change after extensive community
consultions.

Meanwhile, the Catholic School Board is wondering whether it should also look
at a name change for Pope John Paul II School in Kenora.

Trustees point out John Paul could be made a saint as early as next spring and
wondered if they'll have to change the name of the school to Saint John Paul.
