WILKES CENTRAL HIGH SCHOOL MASCOT DEPICTED IN

SCULPTURE

The welding students in Gary Treadway’s class at Wilkes Central
High School in Wilkesboro, NC, have completed an artistic
sculpture of an eagle, the school’s mascot. The sculpture will be
installed near the front entrance of the school to identify the school
by its appropriate nickname, “The Nest.”

The eagle, perched on the
edge of its nest, was designed
by Mr. Treadway along with
his students and Mr. Tim
Wyatt, the masonry teacher.
The work was made possible
through a Lowe’s Toolbox
grant from Lowe’s Companies
entitled Project GreenLIFE
(Landscape Inspiration for
Eagles).

the school’s mascot which will
be placed at the entrance to their
building, “The Nest”.
