According to a release from the Mosaic Life Care Foundation, Troy High School seniors Abby Parks and Griffin Weber, along with Troy educator Jeremy Prudden, have received a more than $4,400 Jump Starter grant from the Foundation.
The release says the project will enhance the look of the high school and increase school pride.
The students said the beautification will bring the community together and will be something that everyone will notice.
