Fall Headmaster’s Award

Through the selection process, Mr. Lee was unable to decide between two individuals and decided to present two awards.

The first goes to a young woman who has worked for her accomplishments more than the average athlete. She is provided support in the classroom to meet her specific needs, but in the athletic arena, she has had to do everything on her own. She is a 12-sport athlete in field hockey, alpine skiing and track and field. She has maintained a 4.1 GPA through the past three years.  She has been a captain, received numerous Raider awards, been named an All Conference athlete, and an All State athlete.

To watch her compete, you would notice the standout athlete, but never realize she has to overcome any hurdles.  When you meet her, you can’t help but be overwhelmed with her compassion toward others and her positive energy.

The 2012 Fall Headmasters Award goes to Christina DiPietro.

The next award goes to a young man who has a passion for endurance, in any event. He is a 12-sport athlete in cross country, Nordic skiing and track and field. He has been a captain several times, received numerous Raider Awards, been a WMC champion for three years and a Regional champion three years, has won two cross-country state titles, been named Maine’s High School Runner of the Year, named to the All New England team, and been an All State runner for all four years.

His accolades in Nordic skiing mirror those of his cross-country career.

In addition to all his athletic awards, you may have noticed he was also a member of the All Academic team with a 3.95 GPA. Coach Reilly says, “He is a one every 30 years type of a runner!”

The 2012 Fall Headmasters Award goes to Silas Eastman.
