There are more questions than answers right now about why the name of 46-year-old Godwin Middle School was changed overnight.
The Prince William County School Board on March 2 voted unanimously to change the name of Dale City's first middle school from Mills E. Godwin -- named after a two-term state governor who raised taxes for a new statewide community college system -- to Dr. George Hampton, a man with an impressive resume of public service to his nation in the Army, and to his community.
The move was heralded as a comprise by School Board members and leaders of Prince William County Government. Before Godwin was renamed, the names of the 87-year-old Hampton, and Kyle Wilson, a 24-year-old firefighter who died in the line of duty in Woodbridge in 2007, were being considered for a new elementary school at the corner of Minnieville and Spriggs roads in Woodbridge.
