In keeping with the Mission, Vision and Values of the Niagara Catholic District School Board, the naming or renaming of a Board facility, designated area, or chapel in whole, or in part, will honour a name or title officially recognized by the Catholic Church, will be endorsed by the Bishop of the Diocese of St. Catharines, and will be approved by the Board of Trustees in a motion at a Board meeting.

The Board values community input for the naming/renaming of a Board facility, designated area, or chapel in whole, or in part. The Board acknowledges that the naming/renaming of a Board facility, designated area, or chapel provides an exemplar for Niagara Catholic students, and must meet the criteria and process within the Administrative Operational Procedures.

Affirming the universal call to holiness, when an individual for whom a current facility, designated area or chapel has been named, is canonized by the Catholic Church, or a title or name has been changed by the Catholic Church, the Board, in consultation with the community, will rename the facility, designated area or chapel, and will support the community through the transition.
