Maggie O’Rourke Receives MPA Principal’s Award


(Calais/Maine) – Maggie O’Rourke of Calais Maine, a senior at Calais High School, has been selected to
receive the 2026 Principal’s Award, Principal Dean A. Preston announced today. The award, sponsored
by the Maine Principal’s Association, is given in recognition of a high school senior’s academic
achievement and citizenship.

“It is my great honor to present Maggie O’Rourke with the 2026 Principal’s Award; An honor that
represents far more than academic success or participation in activities. This award speaks to something
deeper. It recognizes a student who consistently demonstrates leadership, integrity, and a commitment
to excellence in everything she does. In a school community like ours, leadership matters. It shapes our
culture. It defines who we are and Maggie has played a significant role in strengthening that culture;
quietly, consistently, and with purpose.

Calais High School is incredibly proud of her and look forward to seeing all that she will accomplish in the
future.”

Ashaliegh punched her ticket to the second day of the New England tournament going 2-1 on the day! She lost a tough first match with 10 seconds left against the Connecticut State Champ. She then battled back and secured two wins by pin in the consolation bracket. Wrestling starts at 10a tomorrow! Go Big Blue!

Correction to earlier message - it is supposed to read teacher workshop, not teacher worship day. Sorry teachers.
3 months ago, Calais School Department
Friday, March 13th is a scheduled teacher worship day at the CSD. The elementary and middle school have to make up an additional half day at the end of the school year due to a 2 hour delay and ultimate cancellation on 12/3, which was a planned early release. To make up for this snow day, the elementary and middle school students ONLY will have a half day for students on Friday, 3/13. CMS will dismiss at 10:35 am and CES will dismiss at 10:55 am.

Winter Sports Banquet Date Change

Please note that the Winter Sports Banquet has been rescheduled from March 5th to March 17th.

This change is due to our wrestler, Ashaliegh Sulkowski, competing at the New England Championships in Providence, Rhode Island. She will be traveling with her wrestling coach on March 5th.

We are incredibly proud and excited to support her as she represents our school on such a big stage. It wouldn’t feel right to hold the banquet without both our wrestling coach and one of our dedicated athletes present.

Good luck, Ashaliegh! The entire school and community are behind you and cheering you on!
