Arlington Career Center Naming Process

As the construction of a new facility for the Arlington Career Center (ACC) begins, the School Board initiated a naming process for the new ACC building. On Jan. 25, 2024, the School Board approved the ACC naming committee comprised of staff, students, families, and community members. The committee’s charge is to either reaffirm the current name or propose a new name for the building. This is not a process to rename any of the programs within ACC. The committee will follow the guidance for renaming within in conducting this process from January 2024 – May 2024.

On May 16, 2024, the School Board approved the new name Grace Hopper Center for the Arlington Career Center facility.
