The Patsy Cline Theatre is now the name of the Handley auditorium.
The second announcement made Thursday was, a dedication ceremony will be held October 29 with a concert by Willie Nelson.
Superintendent Rick Leonard and principal Doug Joyner said they are happy to have recognition for the Handley family in a theatre rich in history.
The Winchester Education Foundation, which raises money for various school programs, will be the beneficiary of the concert. Damon DeArment is the president of the organization.
"We feel this event will bring credibility and awareness to the mission of the Winchester Education Foundation, which is to provide funding for academic programs, scholarships, teacher and student enrichment, athletic equipment and uniforms, and other projects to enhance the education of all the students in the Winchester school system," comments DeArment.
It will be Willie Nelson's second appearance in Winchester since the 1966 Apple Blossom Festival. Tickets for the dedication ceremony go on sale September 21.
