The Mills E. Godwin name that has been affixed to Dale City's first middle school in 1970 is gone for good.
Democrats on the Prince William County School Board upheld a decision to rename the school to Dr. Geogre C. Hamton Middle School, which strips the name of two-time Virginia Godwin Mills Godwin from the school. The move also kept Kyle R. Wilson's name on a soon-to-open elementary school near the intersection of Minnieville and Spriggs roads in Woodbridge.
Both names -- Hampton and Wilson -- were considered for the new elementary school. A comprise vote last month named the nearly $30 million school after Wilson, the county's first firefighter to die in the line of duty. The nearly 40-year-old Godwin Middle School will be renamed after Hampton, a local philanthropist.
