The school name is still up in the air but it has been narrowed down to five choices picked by 590 members of the community: Bayside High School, Beachside High School, Ocean Valley High School, St. Johns High School and Sampson Creek High School.
Board members didn’t pick the school name Tuesday, but most seemed to favor Sampson Creek High School.
