**Who was A.J. McMullen Middle School named after? **
A.J. McMullen was born and raised in Henry Clay Township. In 1923, working as a laborer, he was approached by the late former superintendent, John S. Carrol to teach at Pike School. McMullen taught for several years, then served as principal in various districts, before he was named as the assistant superintendent under the late Harry J. Brownfield Sr. in 1938. The county started to update from 165 one-room schools into 83 modern facilities. Upon the death of Mr. Brownfield, McMullen was appointed to superintendent. A dream of his had been fulfilled as Uniontown School District began to build the new A.J. McMullen Middle School. The new school was being built on 29 acres donated by McMullen, because he felt that, //"Since 45 years of education have been so good to me I would like to give something back to education."//
