Wireman Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 I heard that Sheldon Clark High School has a new name. Is that true? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gchs_uk9 Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 I'm guessing it will change to Martin County High School. There's been talk about it for years. Their football endzone says MARTIN COUNTY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bengal Maniac Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 How did they come up with the name Sheldon Clark to begin with? WWiki says named after a former superintendent, coach and teacher in 1971 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OlDog75 Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 What's the reason for the change? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gchs_uk9 Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 There isn't a ton of precedent for something like this. A few years ago, after building a new building, Deming High School was changed to Robertson County High School. It appears that the same thing is happening in Martin County. There are no other examples of single-high school counties in Kentucky not having the county name in the school title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vito Corleone Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 Will they change the mascot or anything? Did Bishop Brossart change anything when they changed from St Mary's? Also cost a lot to replace everything that says Sheldon Clark on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was only changed when they built the new school at a different location. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDEaston Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 I'm kinda surprised by this to be honest. Mainly as someone else mentioned about the money it will cost for the name change. To my knowledge that school district is barely making it financially as it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kypride Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 I wish more of the county schools would go the other way. For example I want Adair county to be John Adair hs. Casey county to be William Casey. Knox county to Henry Knox HS etc... The people the county is named after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
