Speaking to a full Gardner Gymnasium, Dr. Robert Dana, Vice President of Student Affairs at the University of Maine, praised the achievements of the 140 Washington Academy students honored for academic excellence at the school’s 24th Annual Academic Awards Banquet on May 24th. Each year the Academy recognizes the superlative academic records of students achieving Honor Roll status throughout their four years. Honor roll pins are awarded to those achieving Honor Roll any three quarters marked through the third quarter of this year. This pin is received by freshmen, sophomores, juniors and seniors. Students achieving Honor Roll any six quarters marked through the third quarter of this year receive a Lamp of Knowledge pin and this can be given to Sophomores, Juniors and Seniors. Academic letters are given to those juniors and seniors achieving Honor Roll any 10 quarters marked through the third quarter of this year. For the juniors receiving this, they would have had to achieve Honor Roll all but one quarter. A pewter apple award is awarded to seniors who have achieved Honor Roll 13 quarters. The highest honor is bestowed on those seniors achieving Honor Roll 14 consecutive quarters, which means every quarter since entering WA as a freshman. This is marked through the second quarter of this year. This year, ten WA students were honored with the Headmaster’s Golden Apple Award, presented to them by the Head of School Judson McBrine. The evening culminated in a rousing applause by everyone in attendance.
