 Erich Maxheimer, son of Mike and Suzie Maxheimer of
Chestnut and a member of Boy Scout Troop 122, has earned the rank of
Eagle Scout.
Maxheimer is a senior at Mount Pulaski High School and an honor
student. He is a member of the baseball team, National Honor
Society, student council, WYSE, Science Olympiad, yearbook staff and
Spanish Club. He was chosen as the September Senior-of-the-Month at
MPHS.
Erich began his scouting career in Cub Scouts and became a member
of Boy Scout Troop 122 under the leadership of Greg Maus in 2003. He
was elected to the Order of the Arrow, a scouting honor society, by
his peers; has earned 24 merit badges; traveled twice to Cache Lake
in Canada; and went on two treks to Philmont Scout Ranch in New
Mexico, where he served as crew leader in 2009.
His Eagle Scout project was completed this summer and involved
the designing, planning and creating of a handicap parking area at
North Park in Mount Pulaski. This project was funded and supported
by the Mount Pulaski Park District. Support was also given by the
city of Mount Pulaski, Fricke-Calvert-Schrader Funeral Home,
Contractors Ready Mix, Don Wilham, Tom Lowe and Norm Maxheimer.
After graduation, Erich plans to attend the University of
Illinois College of Engineering and be in the Air Force ROTC.
In recognition of Erich's achievements, a court of honor was held
on Saturday, Dec. 12, at the First Christian Church in Mount
Pulaski.
