School facilities are often named for a person; in honor of a historic event or place; a distinctive geographic location; or for a major donor. Sherman ISD’s Board of Trustees has authorized a process for considering facility names; whether it be for a full facility or a portion of a facility. This process for naming facilities is outlined in CW Local policy (i.e., Naming Facilities). The term “facility” refers to a new or existing school or Districtwide complex owned and operated by the District. The term “portion of a facility” includes a building, library, media center, auditorium, performing arts center, gymnasium, athletic field, or other portion of a school or support complex or property owned and/or operated by the District.

Nominations for naming facilities must be made in writing on a form provided by the District.
