Board names Park Hill South football field 'Panther Field' after committee recommendation
Summary
After reviewing more than 200 community submissions and the naming committee’s top choices, the Park Hill Board voted unanimously to name the Park Hill South High School football field 'Panther Field.'
The Park Hill Board of Education voted at its May 14 meeting to name the Park Hill South High School football field “Panther Field,” approving the naming committee’s first choice after a community nomination process that generated more than 200 submissions.
Administrators explained the process, which mirrored building‑naming procedures and included committee review and community outreach. Board members asked questions about how recommendations were compiled and whether narratives were taken verbatim from submitters; administrators said the committee reviewed submissions, compiled rationales and ultimately recommended the top three names for the board’s consideration.
A motion to name the field “Panther Field” was made and seconded (motion by Mister Terwilliger, second by Miss Norris), and the board approved the recommendation unanimously, recorded in the transcript as carrying 7‑0.
The naming decision concluded that agenda item; no additional conditions or implementation steps were specified at the meeting. Administrators said the recommendation process aimed to bring parity between the district’s two high‑school fields and reflected broad community engagement.
