It’s still not official, but Parkland's third and newest elementary school has a name – Heron Heights Elementary.

The school, built to relieve overcrowding at Park Trails and Riverglades elementaries will have a total of 620 students from Kindergarten through fifth grade. Kenneth King, formerly assistant principal at Park Trails, is the principal. The school will open in time for the next academic year.

"The name was picked by students and parents," King said. "It now needs to be approved by the school board.”

“The school will have about 40 teachers,” King said. “They are all coming along with the students from Park Trails. We have had our first faculty meeting. The school will primarily serve students who live in the Heron Bay area. Stacy Udine is the PTA president.”

City Commission members recently toured the school site to get an update. “It’s an extremely impressive facility,” Udine said. “The students will love it. It will be a completely green school. Skanska was very professional and easy to work with.”
