He was also a jumper for the varsity winter and spring track teams, and won the MidAtlantic Championship for high school a cappella singing as a member of the Highlands Voices. He is a member of Guardian Angel Church and is a volunteer emergency medical technician with the Allendale Ambulance Corps. For his service project, Clark built a rosary walkway around the pond and garden next to the Guardian Angel Church rectory and restored the pond, altar, and garden. The rosary walkway consists of a stone cross, and enough stepping stones for parishioners to recite each prayer of the rosary as they use the walkway. The stones differ in size to signify the prayer to be said. Dworkin just completed his junior year at Northern Highlands, where he is a member of the basketball and lacrosse teams.

The new retail stand is a sturdy alternative that includes storage units and a cash drawer. Macksoud’s Eagle project took nearly 15 months to complete.
