Hoosac Senior Honored with Superintendent's Award

By Brittany PolitoiBerkshires Staff
CHESHIRE, Mass. — A Hoosac Valley High School senior was recognized for her excellence in the science lab and beyond.
 
Kimberly Mach, top student of the class of 2025, received the Superintendent's Award during Monday's School Committee meeting. Mach is an athlete, honors chemistry student, and advanced writer, and is even delving into dark matter in physics.
 
"I think it's fulfilling," she said about the award. "Because when I learned that it existed, I wanted it so I feel like it's a testament to my hard work."
 
The Certificate of Academic Excellence from the Massachusetts Association of School Superintendents was presented by Superintendent Aaron Dean. Only one student from each high school receives the award each year.
 
Dean congratulated Mach and noted that "this type of achievement doesn't come by accident," telling her parents he is sure that they are great role models.
 
Committee member Adam Emerson said he has been fortunate enough to see nine of these awards and it is always a pleasure to see the honorees' accomplishments.
 
"You and your family should be extremely proud of what you've accomplished," he said.
