Lake George Central School District is another step closer to deciding its new school nickname, in a renaming process spurred on by a state mandate to remove Native American names and imagery from school districts.
On Monday, Lake George Jr./Sr. High School’s student advisory committee gathered and announced the results of a survey dispersed to students, faculty, and community members across Lake George. The results: The “Georgians” are out, at 5.1% of 986 votes. Meanwhile, the “Lakers” came in at 47.4%; and the prospect of an entirely new option alongside it at 47.5%.
