NORTH ANSON – Courtney Peabody, a senior at Carrabec High School, has been selected to receive the 2021 Principal’s Award, according to Principal Timothy Richards.
The award, sponsored by the Maine Principals’ Association, is given in recognition of a high school senior’s academic achievement, citizenship and leadership. Peabody is the daughter of Robert and Carrie Peabody, of Solon.
Richards said Peabody has distinguished herself in the classroom, on the court, in track and field and as a leader in the school. She always has a smile on her face and has a positive attitude, he said. “Courtney is hard-working, kind, and humble, all of which will ensure her future success.”
Academically, Peabody has challenged herself throughout her high school years, where she has taken six dual enrollment classes, as well as three AP courses. “Her hard work, perseverance and enthusiasm have made her a role model in our school,” Richards said.
Richards also said that Peabody is “strong and focused,” and, besides being an athlete, is also a member of the National Honor Society, has been a member of the Willpower Weightlifting Team, Youth in Maine Government and was February 2021 Student of the Month.
The MPA winners will be feted in a live virtual event on May 14, where they will be eligible to be selected for one of 10 scholarships.
