Campbell Middle School will go by a new name beginning next summer.

Over the coming years, the school will be converted to a TK-8 campus and called the Campbell School of Innovation. The name was announced at a Sept. 14 Campbell Union School District governing board meeting.

The school’s name will switch on June 13, according to Superintendent Shelly Viramontez.

The name was selected after feedback gathered from a three-week survey taken by parents, students, district employees and community members. According to Viramontez, three school name choices were given.

“We were very happy about the responses,” Viramontez said, adding there were more than 1,300 responses.

Of those responses, 233 were from students, 899 from parents, 362 from district employees and 35 from district residents.

The name change follows the decision by district officials to convert the 5-8 grade middle school to a TK-8 school. Discussions began in March 2016 after a survey showed parents had a negative perception of the school.

Earlier this year, the school board and former superintendent Eric Andrew decided to phase out middle school enrollment for fifth and sixth graders. Once those two grades finish the school year, the school will close for construction.

“It will be completely closed,” Viramontez said.

Meanwhile, would-be Campbell Middle School students were split between the district’s other two middle schools, Monroe and Rolling Hills. Students residing north of Campbell Avenue attend Monroe, and students living south of Campbell Avenue attend Rolling Hills.

Campbell Middle School teachers were relocated to other middle schools. Viramontez said additional facilities to house middle school students at Monroe and Rolling Hills middle schools will be added.

“We are trying to be mindful of the impacts,” Viramontez said.

Viramontez said construction will begin in January and the school will be ready for students in August 2018.

“The school will open for grades TK-4 and then will grow to eighth grade,” Viramontez said.

Administrative positions, such as the principal, for the Campbell School of Innovation have been chosen.
