Summary
The Livingston Parish School Board adopted a resolution naming the basketball court at North Corbin Junior High the Michael Dumiller Court in perpetuity, with multiple board members recounting memories of the coach during the meeting.
The Livingston Parish School Board unanimously approved a resolution to name the gymnasium floor at North Corbin Junior High the Michael Dumiller Court.
The resolution, read at the April 2025 meeting, described Dumiller as having spent 40 years as an educator, coach and mentor across multiple schools in the parish and noted his opening of the North Corbin gym in February 2007. Board member Jeff Cox made the motion to adopt the resolution and Caitlin Cockerham seconded; the board voted in favor with no recorded opposition.
Multiple board members and current staff shared personal recollections. One said Dumiller “spent 40 years of his life as an educator, mentor, guide, coach, and friend to students, parents, and fellow employees.” Speakers recounted his strict sideline demeanor, his meticulous care for the basketball court, and stories about his influence on students and staff. A North Corbin representative said the naming “is a fitting tribute to his extraordinary career and the positive impact that he’s had on generations of Livingston Parish residents.”
The resolution text states the board will “display his signature and name at North Corbin Junior High on the gymnasium floor, naming it the Michael Dumiller Court” and that the change is to “bear his name in perpetuity.” The board did not record additional policy or budgetary actions tied to the naming during the meeting.
