That's what they're calling the new 7A school being built in Centerton.

I think its kinda dumb, because you'll have Bentonville High and Bentonville West. That kinda makes Bentonville High into East High. They should have just called it Centerton High or named it after a person.

See...this right here. This is just brilliant. Because Kanye's last name is West. HuHAAA!

Did you come up with that on your own? Why is it named after his baby, though. Isn't Kanye's last name also "West"? Please, for those of us on here "less enlightened" than yourself, please explain this.

You're right. You are WAY too sophisticated and intelligent for this place.

I don't even understand your humor.

I didn't know Wolverines were native to the Ozarks.

For real, what a shitty mascot for Arkansas. Also I'm sure they'll straight copy Meechegan's helmets for football

My guess is they used Wolverines just for the alliteration, assuming they call the high school West. The West Wolverines. Meh.

If they were going with an alliterative title I would have preferred the West Wooly Mammoths. Could have gone by Mammoths for short.

“It’s not the most beautiful looking critter, so it’s going to be fun to make it exciting,” said school district spokeswoman Mary Ley. “And maybe we can get Hugh Jackman (who plays Wolverine in the X-Men series) to open the school. Who knows?”

Is that really in the report?!

If you want to parlay his Walmart stock and his love for WholeHog BBQ, don't announce a begging plea to the world on 5News.

“Sometimes you think, will junior high students really be able to give you the data or information you want, and they did,” Poore said. “You should always trust the voice of the kids. They are a great resource for us.”




Thank the lord they listened to the students and didn't go with the Bobcats.

Not sure, but probably because it'll feed from the BSD.

IMO they should probably either make it a generic, directional name like "Northwest High School" or name it after a person (Walton/Tyson/Hunt/insert name High School anyone?). I wouldn't doubt that it'll also feed from places like Cave Springs and possibly even parts of Bella Vista.

Is this just a Bentonville hate thing? I'm guessing.

Many schools that expand name the new school(s) in this manner. It's really common. Plano came first then Plano East, then Plano West. Wylie recently expanded and now they have Wylie East and that's just in my area. Pretty much all of the ISD's (or whatever the districts are called in Arkansas thse days. Been in Texas too long) do this.

Other local school districts were a bit more creative though....Springdale Har-Ber....Rogers Heritage

Just not much thought put into it.

I had thought they go with just Centerton....or Bentonville-Centerton....

Mascots could have been....Skunks, Armadillos, Yankees, Panthers, Lions(mountain), Bears, Cowboys, etc.....
