St. John's makes upgrades to sports complex

Shrewsbury – Commuters traveling along busy Main Street to or from Route 290 most likely have wondered about the construction project that is going on this summer at Pioneer Field, the St. John's High School sports complex. As the school's Headmaster Michael Welch explained, the project is a massive renovation that is long overdue. Over the last decade, the school has invested $12 million in academic improvements. But the last time any money was invested into Pioneer Field, the home to the school's baseball, soccer, lacrosse and football teams, was 1982. "Our philosophy has always been to make appropriate capital investments at the proper times in our history," he said. "We also try to maintain [investments] long beyond the [natural] life cycle."
