Carroll receives Foxcroft Academy MPA Principal’s Award

DOVER-FOXCROFT — Avery Carroll of Sebec, a senior at Foxcroft Academy, has been selected to receive the 2016 Principal’s Award. The award, sponsored by the Maine Principals’ Association, is given in recognition of a high school senior’s academic achievement and citizenship.

“Avery Carroll exemplifies all and more of the traits of the MPA Principal’s Award,” Head of School Arnold Shorey noted in making the award. “She is a true leader through her actions — she models for others: integrity, persistence, work ethic, positive attitude and commitment to excellence. More importantly, Avery is truly a nice young lady, who is always kind and upbeat, and Foxcroft Academy has benefited tremendously from her being a part of the Pony Herd.”

Carroll and Shorey will attend an Honors Luncheon with other award winners and their principals at the Spectacular Event Center in Bangor on Saturday, April 2 at 12:30 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. McGowan and Tyler were former Maine principals and executive directors of the association. An additional five $1,000 scholarships will be presented through the efforts of the MPA Scholarship Golf Tournament.

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.
