Marion County Public Schools is seeking input from the community to help name a new Early Learning Academy that will be opening in Ocala for the 2022-2023 school year.
To help with choosing a name for this school, MCPS is inviting the public to provide input at any of the following sessions:
- Wednesday, May 25 at 6 p.m. – Engage MCPS virtual session (click here to sign up).
- Tuesday, May 31 at 9:30 a.m. – Marion Technical Institute Auditorium (1614 E Fort King Street in Ocala).

The currently unnamed school, which is located at the former site of Evergreen Elementary School (4000 W Anthony Road), will focus on literacy, music education, and social-emotional learning to help give its students a strong foundation in their early school years.
The school is only accepting Pre-Kindergarten and Kindergarten students for the upcoming school year, but the school plans on expanding by adding first graders for the 2023-2024 school year and second graders for the 2024-2025 school year.
