The first will be held at Ginter Park Elementary Wednesday at 6 p.m. George Wythe High School also has a community meeting Wednesday at 5 p.m. in cafeteria B.
There will be more meetings held later this month:

- George Wythe High School – April 24 at 6 p.m. (Virtual) and April 26 at 6 p.m.
The school renaming committees will share their top five recommendations once their first two community meetings have been completed.

A second round of public hearings will be held in May as well.
