Marquis, Ph.D., of Kennebunk on being named a 2016 recipient of the Terrel H. Bell Award for Outstanding School Leadership. Dr. Marquis is one of only eight principals across the country who will receive the award at a ceremony on November 7, 2016.\r\n\u201cThe Bell Award is one of the most prestigious recognitions principals can receive, and we are so proud of Dr. Marquis for earning this distinction,\u201d said Senators Collins and King in a joint statement. \u201cThis award reflects Dr. Marquis\u2019 commitment to Sea Road School as well as his desire to continually inspire and challenge students and support families.\u201dNamed for the second U. S. Secretary of Education, the Terrel H. Bell Award honors school leaders who are committed to education as a powerful and liberating force in people\u2019s lives. The award is part of the National Blue Ribbon Schools Program. Principals are nominated by their school communities during the final stages of the National Blue Ribbon Schools application process. Last month, Senators Collins and King congratulated Sea Road School on being named a National Blue Ribbon School, one of three Maine schools to receive this distinction.\r\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://www.king.senate.gov/newsroom/press-releases/senators-collins-king-congratulate-kennebunk-educator-on-receiving-prestigious-award-for-leadership_-"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.8896088693290949, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
