WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. — Preston Redfield, a senior at Calvary Day School in Winston-Salem, excels on and off the field.

He helped lead the school to back-to-back 3A state soccer championships in the North Carolina Independent Schools Athletic Association. Off the pitch, Redfield has a 5.05 weighted GPA and has performed over 500 community service hours.

One of his service projects was building a new locker room for the soccer team.

"We used to have just benches and cabinets on the top row, but we were state champs so we deserved a better locker room. So I made 20 wooden lockers to put around the room," Redfield said.

As a member of Trail Life, a faith-based public service organization, that project got national attention and he won a national award for his efforts.

"There are less than 400 people who have gotten it across the nation so it's pretty prestigious," Redfield said.

In his four years at the high school, he became an audio technician for weekly chapel sessions and fine arts plays as well as church services.

He also programmed the lightning for those projects and services as the technical director.

Redfield has plans on majoring in engineering in college but doesn't want to travel far school, applying to N.C. State University, Wake Forest University and Clemson University.

The soccer star hopes to continue playing at the club level at whichever school he decides on for next year and would like to work in a STEM field when he graduates from college.
