School officials and a volunteer group have secured the financial backing needed to equip Vernon Hills High Schools football field with artificial turf. The final piece of the roughly $800,000 puzzle came from the Vernon Hills Park District, which has pledged $100,000 toward the project in exchange for reserved time on the field.
