School personnel, local officials and community athletics organizations participated in a groundbreaking ceremony on Tuesday at Robinson Secondary School to begin turf installation on two fields.

The fundraising efforts of several groups provided the school with synthetic turf for the stadium field and one practice field. The practice field will also have lights installed, allowing for night events, according to the school's athletic booster club.
