Royston Elementary School Switching to New Name in August

Royston Elementary School will be making the switch to its new name in anticipation of the opening of the new South Franklin Elementary School building in the new school year.

At the Board of Education Meeting last week, School Superintendent Melanie Burton-Brown said at the start of the new school year next month the current Royston Elementary will be called South Franklin Elementary School.

Burton-Brown said the change is to help students get used to the new school name ahead of moving to the new campus.

Burton-Brown said they’ve already ordered a new sign for the Royston Elementary School building.

No vote was taken by the Board but they did agree to begin making the name transition when school starts August 2.
