Greensboro, N.C. – The Guilford County Schools Board of Education Facilities Naming Committee voted at Tuesday’s board meeting to send nominations pertaining to the renaming of two district facilities out for a 20-day public comment period.

The first nomination is to name the High Point Central High School baseball field the “Andrew T. Harper Memorial Field.” Harper taught social studies at Kearns Academy for seven years and served as the head baseball coach at High Point Central before his passing in 2021.

The second nomination is to rename The Kearns Academy at High Point Central “The Kearns Academy” as the school is no longer housed on the campus of High Point Central High School.

The public can mail comments to the GCS Central Office at 712 N. Eugene Street or email them to [email protected]. After comments for 30 days, the Board will then consider the policy at their February board meeting.
