James Foss of Rollinsford, New Hampshire, a senior at Marshwood High School, has received the 2025 Principal's Award, Principal Brett Hoogterp announced today. The award, sponsored by the Maine Principals Association, is given in recognition of a high school senior's academic achievement and citizenship.
Throughout his years at Marshwood High, James has distinguished himself in the classroom, and as a leader in the school and the community.
Principal Hoogterp noted in making the award. James finds a way to get involved in every positive initiative for the school district.
James Foss and other award winners and their principals attended an Honors Luncheon at Jeff’s Catering on Saturday, April 5, 2025 at 12:30 p.m.
The Honors Luncheon recognized these outstanding students with the presentation of an individual plaque and the awarding of ten $1,000 scholarships in the names of former Maine
principals and MPA Executive Directors: Horace O. McGowan, Richard W. Tyler, and Richard A. Durost. Unfortunately, James did not win any of the drawings for the scholarships.
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.
Congratulations James!
A special thank you to Brandon Elsemore and the Red Tree Team at Keller Williams for sponsoring James with a gas card!
