I'm trying to add a relationship to a user, and I have a list of schools as the options in the drop down. It is at this url:

civicrm/contact/view/rel?cid=102&action=add&reset=1

The problem is, there are multiple schools with the same name in the system. I have a custom field called District that shows what district they are in, and I'd like to prepend the name of the school with the name of the District. Where would I go about modifying that? What function would I write that would overwrite one of the standard functions that generates that? I'm familiar with OO programming, but never really done Civi development. I'm a drupal developer looking to get more friendly with civi, so hopefully this is a good experience here. Thanks in advance for any pointers or direction.

for now the easiest way would be to overwrite:

CRM/Contact/Page/AJAX.php, function search, line 249 (which is specific for the relationship search case)

Those function dont have "hooks" as yet, so your best bet would be to modify the file in a custom php directory (using the same structure, and set the custom path in Administer CiviCRM >> Global Settings >> Directories)
