New School Named Robert Moore

The name Robert Moore will stay associated with the new elementary school in Fort Frances.

Trustees with the Rainy River District School Board approved the name at their meeting last night in Emo based on input from a committee that said the name was supported by more than half of the public submissions received.

The board says it will also consider renaming a section of the new school after F.H. Huffman.

The new school, to open this fall, will house about 480 students now attending classes at Huffman and the current Robert Moore School.
