    Overview of Policy FF: Facility Naming Guidelines
    What Properties Are Eligible?
    Any district-owned facility may be considered for naming or renaming, including buildings, athletic fields, gymnasiums, stadiums, libraries, and other significant spaces.

    What Criteria Are Considered?
    A facility may be named after a geographic location, a defining community feature, or an individual who has made an extraordinary impact on Huron City Schools, the local community, state, or nation.

    To be considered for a dedication, individuals should ideally meet several of the following criteria:

    • Deceased for at least seven (7) years

    • Embody the core values of public education and community service

    • Have contributed meaningfully across multiple areas (e.g., education, athletics, the arts, civic engagement)

    • Inspire multi-generational impact or legacy

    • Promote school and community pride beyond standard involvement

    Please note: No single criterion is determinative. Submissions should reflect a combination of attributes.


    Submission Process
    Step 1:
    Submit a written proposal addressed to the Superintendent, clearly stating:

    • Desired facility or location for naming

    • Proposed honoree and justification

    • Contact information for the applicant

    • Due Date: February 1 each year

    Step 2:
    Include support letters from community members or organizations that reinforce the proposal’s merit.

    Step 3:
    The Facility Naming Committee reviews submissions each March, making a recommendation to either advance or decline the proposal. Applicants will be notified of the committee’s decision within 30 calendar days.

    Step 4:
    If approved, the Superintendent presents the recommendation for a first reading in May and final action in June at regular Board meetings. Public notice will be issued at least 30 days prior to the May meeting, and applicants are encouraged to attend and offer comments.

    If rejected:

    • Committee: Resubmission allowed after 12 months

    • Board: Resubmission allowed after 48 months

    Approved namings are granted for up to 10 years. Renewals may be requested in the final year and will take priority over new requests for the same facility.


    Additional Notes

    • Building/campus names should reflect function and purpose. Dedication naming is more appropriate for spaces within the facility.

    • Naming a space after someone already honored in a similar way is discouraged.

    • Applications are reviewed based on merit, not precedent.


    Tree Memorials & Sponsorships

    Memorial Trees:
    A dedicated Tree Memorial Work Group under the Facility Naming Committee manages existing memorials and considers new tree recognition requests.

    Community & Business Sponsorships:
    Paid naming rights through partnerships or school-affiliated groups (e.g., Boosters) are permitted. These naming recognitions:

    • Cannot exceed five (5) years

    • Are renewable pending availability and sponsor interest
