RUMFORD — Rather than a school-wide assembly, Mountain Valley High School Principal Matt Gilbert announced Students of the Term over the intercom recently.

He invited each student of the term to a reception in the library with their parents. Every term, teachers at Mountain Valley High School nominate, then vote on a student from each class to honor.

The freshman recipient was Sage Taylor. According to Gilbert, the nominating teacher wrote, “She is an outstanding student who has become involved in a variety of school activities.”

Alicia White represented the sophomore class.

“White is an exceptional student,” her nominating teacher wrote, “She comes to target time to perfect her assignments. She is always prepared and is a pleasure to have in class.”

Junior Tom Marshall accepted accolades from his nominating teacher who wrote, “This student has been an excellent role model of what hard work and a good attitude can accomplish. In addition to being a good student, he is a very pleasant and well-liked person. He is a great asset to the MVHS community and I look forward to him being a leader next year.”

Finally, Senior Katherine Mills rounded out the students honored. “Mills is upbeat, personable, sweet, helpful, intelligent and kind. She has a super work ethic and is a dedicated student who is proud of her work and her school.”

All of the students received a MVHS T-shirt and recognition in the library with their parents.
