PARKERSBURG — The Wood County Board of Education will vote tomorrow to accept the proposal for names, colors and mascots for the new elementary schools being built in the district.

The proposal for the new school in Vienna is to have it named Vienna Elementary and will feature the blue and gold colors of West Virginia University at Parkersburg.

The mascot will also reflect the relationship with WVUP as they will use a version of the college’s Riverhawk mascot and name it Neale, honoring the soon-to-be-closed elementary school.

In North Parkersburg, the proposal is to name the new school Lincoln Elementary with the school colors representing the school affected by the construction of the new elementary.

Blue would represent VanDevender Middle School and Lincoln Elementary, who both use those colors, and green would come from Criss and Emerson Elementary.

The mascot will also honor former and current schools as they will use the former lion mascot from Lincoln and name it “Vandy”.

Assistant Superintendent of Operations Kaleb Lawrence will also give a presentation on enhanced construction management that would see more site visits, reports and updates on the construction of the new schools.

The meeting is scheduled to begin at 6 p.m. at the board offices at 13th and Plum streets in Parkersburg.

The meeting is open to the public and will be streamed online.
