Rehoboth student Andrew P. Gagnon IV honored with the 2018 DRRHS Civic Legacy Award

Andrew P. Gagnon IV, a rising senior at Dighton-Rehoboth Regional High School, received the highly regarded 2018 Civic Legacy award at the June 14 Class of 2019 Junior Awards ceremony.

The Dighton-Rehoboth Regional High School Civic Legacy Award is awarded to a DRRHS student who has shown the personal characteristics of integrity, creativity, persistence, humor, community spirit, and respect for other people. By virtue of the example set forth by this student through his or her activities, they have not only contributed to the good of our school, but to the greater Dighton-Rehoboth community, as a whole.

In her presentation remarks, award sponsor Melissa Enos said, “Abraham Lincoln once said: ‘I like to see a man proud of the place in which he lives. I like to see a man live so that his place will be proud of him’. With that in mind, I would like to read a few excerpts, from the nominations for this recipient: ‘He sets a positive example for everyone around him and has improved not only the school, but especially the community as a whole’. ‘His community spirit and devotion to the school and community is immense’. ‘He is a true student Leader’. ‘His civic responsibility to the two communities is demonstrated consistently as he encourages members … to participate in all of the events, and he has been very successful in doing so.’ And, finally: ‘We’re very proud of the selfless, mature young man that our son has become, and it is humbling to hear that others also recognize him as an upstanding citizen of our community’.”

Andrew is also the President of the D-R Leos Club and a D-R DECA Club state qualifier.
