DALTON, Mass. — Wahconah Regional High School senior Logan Kunde has been presented with the Superintendents' Award.

 

Central Berkshire Regional Superintendent of Schools Leslie Blake-Davis made the award at last week's School Committee meeting. 

 

Kunde earned the Massachusetts Association of School Superintendents' Certificate of Academic Excellence Award for achieving high academic standing at Wahconah. 

 

"I am so very proud of Logan's achievements and it is an honor to present him with this award," said Blake-Davis, adding he has consistently demonstrated high academic performance, as exemplified by his grade average of 101.42. 

 

Kunde was inducted into the National Honor Society during his junior year due to his high academic standing and commitment to the National Honor Society's pillars of scholarship, service, leadership, and character. His favorite subjects are science and math, and as such, he plans to pursue a degree in chemical engineering. 

 

He has applied to Rensselaer (N.Y.) Polytechnic Institute and the University of Connecticut.

 

He has volunteered in delivering town reports for Dalton, setting up flags for Memorial Day, assisting with the May Day Races, installing a ramp at St. Agnes' Church, and renovating a gazebo on the high school's grounds as part of his Eagle Scout criteria. He's also held several leadership positions in the Boy Scouts organization, including patrol leader and assistant patrol leader. Kunde has been an active member of the school's swim and cross-country teams. He also participates in the quiz team, particularly enjoying its pizza dinners, and the Cultural Connections Club. 

 

Kunde has received several awards and recognition including the Evening of Excellence Awards in mock trial, music, physical education, French, science, social studies, math, and English, and the Harvard Book Award.
