MARS HILL, Maine — Jadeyn Giberson of Blaine, a senior at Central Aroostook High School, has been selected to receive the 2017 Principal’s Award, Principal Kay York announced recently.
The award, sponsored by the Maine Principals’ Association, is given in recognition of a high school senior’s academic achievement and citizenship.
“Jadeyn is a wonderful young lady who is enthusiastic, conscientious and positive,” said York. “Jadeyn has challenged herself with advanced level courses throughout high school.
“She is involved in National Honor Society, sports and service to her community. She has volunteered in the community for various events including the annual Penny Carnival, Rotary “carhop” and the Big Rock Mountain Challenge. She has played varsity soccer and held the captain’s title for the last two years. She has also been a student tutor and teacher assistant and is the class vice president this year,” the principal said.
