For his Eagle Scout Service Project, Cesar Dragula coordinated a work crew that cleared brush and renovated a garden for special education students at Dublin High School. Cesar Dragula is a senior at Dublin High School, presently with a 4.0 GPA, and has early enlisted into the United States Marine Corps.
