Throughout her years at Cony Middle and High School, Theriault has been an amazing student who is in the top 10 of Cony’s class of 2023, according to a news release from Principal Kim Liscomb.

Liscomb commented, “Avery Theriault represents the very best of our states’ young people. Avery is an intelligent, compassionate, and driven young woman.”

At Cony, she is a member of the Olympia Snowe leadership cohort. She serves as president of both the Student Council and Key Club and captain of volleyball and track teams. Theriault has earned nine varsity letters over her high school career, including KVAC 1st Team Honors this past season on the volleyball court and throwing the shot in track.

Theriault plans to attend Marian Military Institute in Alabama next year on a Naval Academy Foundation scholarship. Once completed, she intends to enroll in the Naval Academy in August 2024.

Theriault and Millett, along with other award winners and their principals, attended an honors luncheon in April at Jeff’s Catering.

The honors luncheon recognized 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.
