Griffin Morehead will complete his Eagle Scout Project by June 15, 2014. The goal is to refurbish the Leesville Road High School Interior Courtyard so it is a useful resource for students beginning next year. The courtyard is not in active use and has become overgrown, and is in need of tables to complement the existing benches. Seelink to picture: http://imgur.com/pf2cny0.
