PARIS – Seth McAllister of Oxford, a senior at Oxford Hills Comprehensive High School, has been selected to receive the 2004 Principal’s Award, Principal Joseph Moore has announced.

The award, sponsored by the Maine Principals’ Association, is given in recognition of a high school senior’s academic achievement and citizenship.

“Seth is an outstanding young man. He is a top 10 scholar in the class of 282 students, an outstanding wrestler and two-time state champion, a positive role model as well as a good school citizen. Seth is polite, modest, responsible, courteous and friendly. Seth is an individual we are very proud of at OHCHS,” Moore said.

McAllister, Moore and other award winners and their principals will attend an honors luncheon at 1 p.m. Saturday, April 3, at the Bangor Civic Center.

The 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 0. McGowan and Richard W. Tyler. Both men were former Maine principals and executive directors of the association.

The Principal’s Award is presented in more than 143 Maine public and private high schools by member principals of the MPA, the professional association which represents Maine’s school administrators.
