Susannah Curtis of Madison, a senior at Madison Area Memorial High School, has been selected to receive the 2021 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.

Throughout her years at Madison High, Curtis has distinguished herself in the classroom, on the playing field, and as a leader in the school and the community, according to her school. She will graduate as the valedictorian for the class of 2021 and plans to attend the University of Southern Maine to study secondary education with a concentration in history and social studies.

Curtis, Principal Christopher LeBlanc and other award winners and their principals will participate in a live virtual scholarship drawing event on Friday, May 14.

Ten $1,000 scholarships will be drawn in the names of former Maine principals and MPA Executive Directors Horace McGowan, Richard Tyler and Richard 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.
