The PTO-PTAC-PAC Pristash Award was established in 2006 by the Town’s Parent Teacher Organizations to recognize individuals who have demonstrated extraordinary contributions to the educational system in North Andover. The first recipients, David and Leanna Pristash have exemplified the outstanding qualities that this award represents. The goal of the award is threefold: first, to recognize and thank the recipients; second, to fund a High School Scholarship to be awarded to a North Andover High senior who demonstrates a commitment to the school community; finally, to celebrate what is right with our schools. To date, $20,000.00 in Scholarships have been awarded.
