Madelyn McDougall of Bridgton, a senior at Lake Region High School, has been selected to receive the 2025 Principal’s Award, LRHS Principal Maggie Thornton announced Monday. 

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

Principal Thornton emphasized Maddy’s outstanding record at Lake Region High School, highlighting her success in academics, athletics, and community leadership, and declared her “very much deserving of this recognition.”

Maddy, Principal Thornton and other award winners and their principals will attend an Honors Luncheon at Jeff’s Catering on Saturday, April 5, at 12:30 p.m.

The Honors Luncheon recognizes these outstanding students with the presentation of an individual plaque and the awarding of ten $1,000 scholarships in the names of former Maine principals and MPA Executive Directors: Horace O. McGowan, Richard W. Tyler, and Richard A. Durost.

The Principal’s Award is presented in more than 100 Maine public and private high schools by member principals of the MPA, the professional association which represents Maine’s school administrators.
