DEXTER — Chase Paul Farnsworth of Ripley, a senior at Dexter Regional High School, has been selected to receive the 2025 Principal’s Award, Principal Stephen Bell announced. The award, sponsored by the Maine Principal’s Association, is given in recognition of a high school senior’s academic achievement and citizenship.

Chase and Bell and other award winners and their principals will attend an honors luncheon at Jeff’s Catering on Saturday, April 5 at 12:30 p.m.
