The Dirigo High faculty chose Tucker Olsen for the April Student of the Month Award. Some comments made about Olsen were that he is a leader in the classroom — one who leads by example. He does what is expected and more importantly, what he expects of himself. When a commitment is made, whether in the form of an assignment at school, a volunteer responsibility, a role on a team, club or organization, he follows through and gets the job done with humility and hard work.
