Deering Senior Honored by Principals Association
Chelsea Schoen, a senior at Deering High School, has been selected to receive the 2008 Principal’s Award. Sponsored by the Maine Principals’ Association, the award is given in recognition of a high school senior’s academic achievement and citizenship.
“Throughout her years at Deering, Schoen has distinguished herself in the classroom and community through numerous service projects,” said Principal Kenneth Kunin. “She has left the school a better place than she found it. She very much deserves this recognition.”
Schoen, Kunin and other award winners and their principals will attend an honors luncheon at the Spectacular Event Center in Bangor on April 5 at 1 p.m. The event will feature the presentation of individual plaques to outstanding students and the award of five, $1,000 scholarships in the names of Horace O. McGowan and Richard W. Tyler, former Maine principals and executive directors of the association.
The Principal’s Award is presented in more than 140 Maine public and private high schools by member principals of the MPA, the professional association which represents Maine’s school administrators.
