Stafford High School Senior Completes Eagle Scout Project

---

Frederick McCloud, a 17 year-old Stafford High School senior, wanted to do something special for the Stafford Municipal School District (SMSD) community, so he created three benches in the Stafford High School car rider and bus zone as his Eagle Scout project. The benches, made of wood and cinderblock, make for a more enjoyable experience for students waiting for the school bus or for their parents to pick them up.

“Frederick McCloud is an exceptional student and campus leader,” said SMSD Superintendent Dr. Robert Bostic. “He has shown tremendous initiative with this project, which will continue to benefit SMSD students for years to come. As a fellow Eagle Scout, I couldn’t be any prouder of Frederick than I am right now.”

McCloud is a lifelong Stafford resident who has attended Stafford MSD since kindergarten. He joined the Boy Scouts eight years ago and set a goal to achieve its highest honor. McCloud is grateful for Stafford MSD’s strong emphasis on Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) education. He ranks 23rd in the senior class and aspires to become a software engineer.

Before setting forth on the project, McCloud met with his scoutmaster, committee chairman and Stafford High Principal Misti Morgan for approval. McCloud’s project came in approximately $100 below the $400 budget, so he donated the remainder of the funds to the Class of 2017.

McCloud is also a member of the Stafford High School Student Council, band, coding club and participates in both soccer and swimming. Congratulations!
