MBHS grad cuts ribbon on Eagle Scout project

By Associated Engineering Press

Crestline resident and Mountain Brook High School graduate Arthur Barnes recently got to cut the ribbon on his Eagle Scout project. Barnes, a rising sophomore at University of Alabama and member of Scout Troop 53, completed two information kiosks at Red Mountain Park for his Eagle Scout honor. While the kiosks were finished in May 2017 before he went to college, the ribbon cutting was delayed until July 13 of this year.

In 1837, The University of Alabama became one of the first five universities in the nation to offer engineering classes. Today, UA’s College of Engineering has more than 5,200 students and more than 170 faculty. In recent years, students in the College have been named USA Today All-USA College Academic Team members, Goldwater, Hollings, Portz, Boren, Mitchell and Truman scholars.
