Military Questionnaire - Westwood HS Eagle Project - Reed Gehringer
Westwood High School Military Display Cabinet Honoring Graduates and Teachers
Reed Gehringer, Life Scout with Westwood Troop 350 and a Junior at Westwood Regional High School, has chosen his Eagle Project to build a display cabinet in Westwood Regional High School to honor all students who have graduated or have been drafted from our high school since it was created in 1913 to the present as well as future graduates who serve in our United States Military. This cabinet will also honor district teachers (Minimum of 5 years teaching in the district) who have served in the United States Military.
He has chosen his project to honor his grandparents, Jane & Barry Gehringer, who both served in the Army as well as honor my high school and fellow students and their families. Reed feels serving in the military is one of the hardest and most honorable choices a person can make, and feels personally grateful to all those who make this choice. If you or anyone you know fits the above criteria, please complete the information below.
