Summary

DRAPER — The Canyons School District is asking for help outfitting its newest high school with a name, mascot and school colors.

The building under construction at 12887 S. 801 East in Draper will be the city's first secondary school and will accommodate up to 1,800 students when finished. The school will open its doors fall 2013.

Anyone interested in coming up with the school's new moniker can fill out a form on the district's website, www.canyonsdistrict.org, by Nov. 8.

A committee comprised of school employees and parents will narrow down the school name options and send a number of finalists on to the district's school board. Students living inside the boundaries of the new school will vote to determine the school's mascot and colors.

The results will be announced at a Dec. 6, school board meeting.

How about Juan Diego Dos? The mascot could be the Gliding Seagulls and the colors could be gray and white and teal.

Draper Ducks would also be nice.

I seriously recommend the Draper Flyers,because of all the para-gliders, and hang-gliders. And it is Unique.

Javier, sorry, that name is taken by the Dixie Flyers. Not that Draper can't have it too, but it isn't unique.
