Vote for One of Five Names Proposed for the New Career Academy

The Barrow County School System, in conjunction with Lanier Technical College, broke ground Tuesday, June 25, on a $24 million joint campus. The school system is asking Barrow residents to help name its facility. 

Five names are proposed and voting will end July 25. The survey results will be presented to the Barrow County Board of Education, which is expected to select a name Aug. 6. The proposed names are as follows: 

• Archway Academy of Innovation and Technology (representing the connectivity with Lanier Technical College)
• Barrow Academy of Innovation and Technology
• Crescent Academy of Innovation and Technology (representing Barrow's involvement in Georgia's Innovation Crescent)
• Parkway Academy of Innovation and Technology (representing the location on University Parkway)
• Sims Academy of Innovation and Technology (recognizing the contributions of long-time Barrow County educators LaFar and Mary Sims)
