The Powhatan County Public Schools School Board recently updated its policy regarding the naming of school facilities and is seeking volunteers from each magisterial district to consider a request to name the baseball field at Powhatan Middle School.
At the August 11 meeting, the board voted unanimously to approve revisions to Policy FFA, which pertains to the naming and dedication of school buildings, fields, facilities, and portions of facilities. The policy establishes a formal process for considering naming requests, including community input and review by a citizen committee.
Under the updated policy, each School Board member will select one citizen from their district to serve on the naming committee alongside select staff members. The committee will review requests and make a recommendation to the School Board for its consideration and vote.
The School Board has already received requests from several local citizens to name the middle school’s baseball field after Ott Mullins, who served as a PCPS baseball coach for 22 years.
Powhatan residents interested in representing their magisterial district on the baseball field’s naming committee may apply by filling out the application to serve on the naming committee linked in the comments. Community members are also welcome to use the same form to share their thoughts, perspectives, and recommendations regarding the proposed dedication.
Applications are due by 11:59:00 p.m. on Friday, September 4, 2026.
