The award, sponsored by the Maine Principals’ Association, is given in recognition of a high school senior’s academic achievement and citizenship.
Melissa is the daughter of Terry and Lisa Cantafio of Limestone. White stated that the award recipient is an outstanding and very active school citizen.
“Melissa serves as the vice president of the Senior Class and treasurer of the National Honor Society,” White described, “Melissa is a member of the L Club and serves as the captain of the soccer, basketball and softball teams.”
After graduation in June, Cantafio will be attending Husson University in Bangor as a chemistry major. She plans to pursue a career as a pharmacist.
