Principal Ty Byrd recently presented George Mason High School senior Maeve Curtin with a Certificate of Excellence from The Prudential Spirit of Community Awards, and with a President’s Volunteer Service Award granted by the program on behalf of President Barack Obama.

Curtin was among the top 10 percent of all state applicants. She has been an active Mustang throughout her four years at Mason. She helped to start the Best Buddies club, served as the SCA president, and served as the student representative to the school board.

Based on the number of her volunteer hours, Curtin also qualified for the President’s Volunteer Service Award, which recognizes Americans of all ages who have volunteered significant amounts of their time to serve their communities and their country.
