Nine Eagle Scouts In Kings Park Class Of 2016

Kings Park Central School District Celebrates

Nine Eagle Scouts in the Class of 2016

Class of 2016 Eagle Scouts:  John Davignon, George Gonatas, Eric Homeyer, Thomas McGee, Matthew Meehan, Michael Messina, Mitchell Stern, Colin Tekverk, and Mark Turrisi (Dr. Eagen is also an Eagle Scout).

The Kings Park Central School District was recently informed that they have nine (9) Eagle Scouts in the graduating Class of 2016.  While less than 4% of all scouts achieve the rank of Eagle Scout, the Kings Park High School Class of 2016 has far exceeded this mark.  The scouts’ service projects have definitely made a lasting impact in their community.  You can find their handy work at the San Remo Administrative Building, Kings Park High School, Caleb Smith State Park, Lucien Memorial Church, American Legion Post 944, Sweet Briar Farm, and St. Joseph’s Church.  These young men are leaders in their school and our community.  

Two words that Dr. Eagen typically uses to describe Kings Park’s “brand” are PRIDE and SERVICE.  According to Superintendent Eagen, “I have never lived or worked in a community that is as devoted to service as Kings Park.  Whether we are raising money for cancer or ALS research, participating in “Stuff a Bus,” or attending a luncheon for blind veterans, Kings Parkers value service like no other community.”  These nine Eagle Scouts serve as fine examples of the quality of young people that graduate from the Kings Park CSD.
