Our Alumni are Eagle Scouts!

Congratulations

to Seth Stewart, DCS '17 on earning and achieving the rank of Eagle Scout!

For Seth's Eagle Scout Project he chose Heart of Niagara Animal Rescue as he hoped to help both people and animals. He built three benches at the animal rescue to help facilitate meet and greets for adoptive dogs and potential families. Seth also organized and raised money to buy food for the dogs of Heart of Niagara. On the day of the project Seth also cleaned up the grounds, weeded, stained the flower beds and fixed up the fences.

Congratulations

Seth! Once a Knight, Always a Knight!
