Bella brings such positive energy to the classroom every day! She is kind, funny, and makes the classroom better simply by being in it. She consistently participates and shows that she is listening and engaged. Bella’s work is always thoughtful, on time, and high quality, and she clearly takes pride in what she does. Bella is also incredibly helpful and is someone I can always count on.

10th Grade: Samantha Auger
Samantha is one of the most positive, engaged, and consistently prepared students I have encountered. She approaches each day with focus and enthusiasm, arriving on time, ready to contribute, and maintaining a strong work ethic. She is also thoughtful and reflective during our biweekly character training discussions.
As her varsity softball coach, I have had the privilege of watching her growth beyond the classroom. From a seventh grader new to the sport, she has developed into a varsity contributor who demonstrates humility, coachability, and a commitment to improvement.
Samantha takes full advantage of all that Maple Hill has to offer, is a true role model for her peers, and is highly deserving of this recognition.
-Mr. Austin
11th Grade: Emma Mills
Emma, a midyear sophomore transfer, immediately embraced the Schodack experience. She quickly built positive relationships with peers and faculty while demonstrating strong effort and enthusiasm in AP World History. She also sought out opportunities in athletics and extracurricular activities, making an immediate impact on our school community.
Emma showed courage and initiative by founding a Debate and Civil Discourse Club, helping create a space for respectful dialogue and student engagement.
She is also a strong leader on the varsity softball team, serving as a dependable captain, supportive teammate, and positive role model. Balancing rigorous coursework, extracurricular commitments, and family responsibilities, Emma exemplifies resilience, character, and leadership.

12th Grade: Dean Chevrier
I am happy to nominate Dean Chevrier from my AP Literature class for Student of the Quarter. He demonstrates a high level of intellectual curiosity, most recently through an exemplary essay that stood out for its insight and sophistication of analysis. His writing reflects a strong command of literary techniques and thoughtful engagement with complex ideas. He is also a skilled and enthusiastic collaborator and is always open to engaging in creative learning activities.
