Principals’ Association honors students
Kelsey Churchill
WASHBURN — Kelsey Churchill, a senior at Washburn District High School, and daughter of Daren and Laura Churchill, has been selected to receive the 2012 Principal’s Award, according to Assistant Principal Ron Ericson.
LaJoie is the son of Peter and Nora LaJoie of Presque Isle.
According to Principal Donna Lisnik, LaJoie was chosen as “he exemplifies a well rounded and talented student.”
LaJoie presently is president of both the National Honor Society and the Student Council. On the athletic field he plays soccer, baseball and hockey. He reached a milestone this year when he was honored for scoring 100 points on the Wildcat hockey team. LaJoie also plays in the concert and game bands and works part-time.
Next year he will be attending M.I.T. majoring in chemical engineering. LaJoie, Lisnik and other award winners and their principals will attend an Honors Luncheon at the Spectacular Event Center in Bangor Saturday, April 7 at 1 p.m.
The Honors Luncheon recognizes these outstanding students with the presentation of an individual plaque and the awarding of five $1,000 scholarships in the names of Horace O. McGowan and Richard W. Tyler, both former Maine principals and executive directors of the Association.
The Principal’s Award is presented in more than 100 Maine public and private high schools by member principals of the MPA, the professional association which represents Maine’s school administrators.
