During Monday night’s School Committee meeting, Superintendent Lisa Howard presented the Massachusetts Association of School Superintendent’s Certificate of Academic Excellence, to Christopher Finn.
“As I thought about who was deserving of this citation, I needed to take a moment to think about what academic excellence meant, and the more I thought about the meaning, the more I thought of excellence as a journey of how you get from where you were to where you are today,†said Howard. “I decided to choose a student who exhibited internal motivation, strong leadership skills, and someone who is giving, humble, patient and honest, and Chris Finn is the epitome of all of those things.â€
As a senior at Winthrop High School, Finn is a member of the National Honor Society, on the yearbook committee, a mentor in the Life Skills class, a volunteer for Relay for Life and Walk for Hunger, a student council member, and captain of both the varsity hockey and tennis teams.
