Officials said the decision to rename Mills Godwin Middle School was the right compromise to make.
There were two failed tied votes during a March 2 Prince William County School Board meeting. The first to name new elementary school near the corner of Spriggs and Minnieville roads after fallen Prince William County firefighter Kyle Wilson, who died nine years ago at age 24. The second was to name the school after 87-year-old Army officer turned educator and community philanthropist, Dr. George Hampton.
In an 11th hour move, the Board unanimously decided to name the new school after Wilson and rename the 46-year-old Godwin after Hampton. The large crowd that gathered to hear the decision applauded the compromise.
