Henderson selected for MPA Principal’s Award

    DOVER-FOXCROFT — Senior Gabi Henderson is Foxcroft Academy’s selection for the 2013 MPA Principal’s Award. The award, which was established by the Maine Principals’ Association in 1984, is given in recognition of a high school senior’s academic excellence, outstanding school citizenship, and leadership. Henderson is an outstanding student, was a field hockey captain this season, and serves as president of the Spanish Club, Student Council and National Honor Society.

    “Gabi is a natural leader who has distinguished herself in the classroom, on the playing field, and in the community,” noted Head of School Arnold Shorey. “We are proud to have her represent Foxcroft Academy.”
    Henderson and Shorey will attend an Honors Luncheon with other award winners and their principals at the Spectacular Event Center in Bangor on Saturday, April 6 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, former Maine principals and executive directors of the association. The last Foxcroft Academy student to receive a scholarship was Steven Tatko in 2006.
    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.
