CORRECTION: Milton City Council is being asked to allow an applicant to withdraw a pair of rezoning requests that would have allowed an assited living facility at the northeast corner of Bethany Bend and Cogburn Road.

Call it Cambridge High School, because that's what the Fulton County Board of Education decided the new school on Bethany Bend and Cogburn Road in Milton will be named. The school board voted on Tuesday, Nov. 15 to adopt the name during the same meeting in which it sent its charter system application to the state Department of Education for approval. Cambridge was the top choice of two names submitted by a panel consisting of students, parents and staff, and represents a historical view of the area and a unifying vision for the school, according to a release by the school system. Providence High School was the other name submitted but Cambridge was the leader among the name selection committee. The school will open in August 2012, and …

Selections for new school remain at issue, though naming committee narrows choice to two names.
Redistricting for Milton's new high school on Bethany Bend Road caused hubbub among residents, and now the means of choosing the school's name, colors and mascot are creating a little grumbling as well. As the school for some 1,650 students takes shape at Cogburn Road, principal Ed Spurka's community updates have supplemented well-circulated photos of the 65-acre facility to relieve crowding at Alpharetta and Milton Highs. The campus is on course toward its scheduled opening in August and ambition to immediately launch varsity teams in all sports, as well as band, choir and drama programs. But with construction necessitating determination of school colors and mascot in the next few weeks, some parents have objected to the means of choosing…

Milton City Council receives an update on the Bethany Bend high school construction.
The high school rising on Bethany Bend is big–real big, its first principal, Edward Spurka realized only after visiting the site under construction. "I didn't notice how big of a building it was until I was standing in the parking lot. It's a big building. It's about a third bigger than Roswell High School," said Spurka, who previously was Roswell High's principal. Spurka gave Milton City Council an update on the school on Monday night, Aug. 8, which will open June of 2012, allowing for plenty of time for preparations before students attend in August. He predicts that there will be around 1,550 to 1,850 students attending. City Council member Julie Zahner Bailey asked if the Fulton County Schools system had made sure there were sidewalks…
