Murdock receives Dexter’s MPA Principal’s Award

DEXTER – Chloe Elizabeth Murdock of Dexter, a senior at Dexter Regional High School, has been selected to receive the 2026 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.

“Throughout her years at Dexter Regional High School, Chloe has truly set herself apart as an exceptional leader in both the school and the wider community,” Bell said in presenting the award. “Her dedication, character and impact make her profoundly deserving of this recognition.”

Murdock and Bell and other award winners and their principals attended an honors luncheon at Jeff’s Catering on April 11.

The luncheon recognizes these outstanding students with the presentation of an individual plaque and the awarding of 10 $1,000 scholarships in the names of former Maine principals and MPA Executive Directors: Horace O. McGowan, Richard W. Tyler and Richard A. Durost.

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.
