A trail, located behind George Washington High School, will be open to the public by the end of this week. The trail is named in memory of former student Willy Shuman, who was killed in a drunken driving accident four days before he was to enter the U.S. Air Force Academy.

Ryan Hayes, Mike Sloan, Charles Tucker and Grant Lares (left to right), members of the Junior ROTC at George Washington High School, grade out the gravel on a nature trail behind the school.

Zaviae Walker, Justin Treadway and Colby Treadway pull gravel onto a newly shaped pathway that will be the Willy A. Shuman Nature Trail.
