Casco Bay Students Elect Representative

Bennett Gross, a sophomore at Casco Bay High School, has been elected as the school’s student representative to the Portland School Committee. He will serve until November.

The Portland School Committee voted earlier this month to add a student representative from Casco Bay High School, now in its second year. Portland High and Deering have been electing representatives since 2004.

Gross was one of four candidates for the new position. Student representatives may participate in all School Committee workshops and meetings but they are barred by municipal charter from voting.

What a great honor for CBHS and for Bennett himself. I’ve known Bennett since we went to King Middle School together, and from day one, I recognized him as a caring, compassionate, and intelligent person with a great outlook on life. We could not have picked a better student representative than Bennett Gross.

Congrats.
