This week I participated in my first ever ground breaking ceremony as we kicked off the artificial turf field project at Monticello High School.
Many thanks go to Athletic Director Fitz Barnes and MHS Principal Billy Haun for their leadership on this this project, and to the Monticello boosters who raised a lot of money to ensure the field could be paid for entirely with private funds. In the ceremony, I thanked all of these folks, as well as the very generous anonymous donor, that worked together to ensure Monticello's vision for world class athletic facilities will be a reality next school year. Thank you!
The Monticello community has led the way for the entire school division and I'm looking forward to similar ceremonies in the near future at both Western and Albemarle High Schools.
