Eagle Scout Beautifies High School Athletic Complex

David Swerzenski has been an athlete at for all of his four years at the school. He’s also been involved in Boy Scouts for many years. When it came time to work on his Eagle Scout project, Swerzenski decided to combine his two interests and perk up the high school grounds. Swerzenski, a member of Troop 151, redid the entrance to the athletic complex as his project.

“I redid the whole entrance,” he said. “I tore out the hill, made walls, built a patio and did some planting.

“The area had been hard for the custodians to maintain,” he continued. “I think the improvements make it nicer to look at and easier to maintain.”

Swerzenski had much help from his father Tom, owner of Woodstock Landscapes, in his project. There were several others who helped, including Mr. & Mrs. Emil Babich, Mr. & Mrs. John Guest, Mr. & Mrs. Frank Streelman, Cambridge Pavingstones, Concrete Stone & Tile, Diamond Sand & Gravel, JPT, Inc., Morris County Farms, Peerless Concrete, Brad Cosh Premium Mulch Products, Soil Tec, LLC, Weldon Materials, Inc., Woodstock Landscapes, JTHS Star Committee and Mr. Karl Mundi and the staff and grounds crew at Jefferson Township High School.
