Work has begun to install new synthetic turf fields at Conwell-Egan Catholic High School.
In a major project, the high school is installing a new synthetic turf field for the soccer and lacrosse programs at the campus in Bristol Township. The school serves 450 high schoolers.

“Installing a new turf field is an added benefit to our already stellar athletic program, and we look forward to watching our student-athletes compete,” said Conwell-Egan Catholic High School Athletics Director Patrick Donlen. “Upgrading the turf is yet another enhancement to the CEC campus that improves the student experience and the community our school serves. Replacing the existing grass at CEC will benefit the community for years to come.”
The current natural grass field is being replaced with a Sprinturf system. The school moved toward synthetic turf after determining it would involve reduced maintenance, consistent performance, and a source of pride.
The project will include new perimeter fencing and updated landscaping along Wistar Road and Queen Anne Drive.

“Improving these fields will be an asset for many students and generations to come, allowing for more efficient use of the facilities and providing a more durable, safer playing environment that will be one of the best in the area,” said Conwell-Egan Catholic High School Principal Matthew Fischer. “This investment continues the strong momentum we have going at CEC, improving the overall quality of the student experience and investing in our athletic program in an exciting way.”
Construction is expected to be completed by September and be ready for fall sports.
