Chapter President Finn O’Hara, Vice President and Leadership Officer Ella Chafe, Service Officer Kate Bappe, Character Officer Charles Virden, and Scholarship Officer Aiden Brown organized and led the ceremony.
MERHS Spanish Teacher and Soccer Coach Robbie Bilsbury made a speech reflecting on his past and his hopes for the future of the student scholars.
“These students have received this honor for their continued dedication to academics, development of leadership skills, and passion for helping others,” said ME Regional High School Principal Julie Sgroi. “We are proud to recognize them for this well-deserved achievement.”
