“It’s a great group of kids,” said Principal Ted Moccia before each of the students, accompanied by family members, introduced themselves to the board at the June 4 Board of Directors meeting.
The annual presentation of the top achievers occurs each year at the SAD 17 Board of Directors meeting held just before graduation.
This year the Oxford Hills Comprehensive High School Graduation will be held on Saturday,
