Rachel Carson Middle School receieved a $25,000 check from Milestone Communications Today.

School principal, August Frattali, accepted the check during the stacking of the tower. The school will continue to receive money from having the check on its property.

Frattalli said the school plans to use the $25,000 to purchase new technology for students to use, including laptops.

Milestone is constructing a wireless communication tower that is designed to blend in with the existing athletic field lights on the baseball field. This will also improve wireless communication in the community.

This will be the 24th wireless facility to be built in partnership with Fairfax County Schools, and will generate up to $50,000 in annual revenue. The wireless infrastructure program has generated more than $5 million in revenue for the school system.

Milestone Communications is based in Reston and has been planning, building, leasing and managing wireless infrastructure for more than 10 years.
