Steinbach Christian High School will see a name change effective July 1.

Principal Emery Plett explains the name will be changed to Steinbach Christian School.

"We've not been a high school for a number of years having grown to full middle school and senior years departments over the last number of years. Then this year with us adding an early years program we really felt that 'Steinbach Christian High School' - it's a fabulous name for us, since 1990, I think is when it was first brought on. It's been a great name for us, it's done a great job but it doesn't reflect who we are anymore."

Plett says there were different ideas put on the table but in the end it was decided to simply take the 'High' out of 'Steinbach Christian High School.'

"We have been working at that for the last while and now we have come up with a logo. We're looking forward to beginning to use that July 1, putting that up on our sign."

With a new logo and a new name Plett says they're hoping to have the exterior of the building reflect the change by September. Plett adds it's exciting to see the school continue to express who they through their name.
