CONWAY — The final few weeks of Reed Karnopp’s senior year at Kennett High School were busy ones, but anyone who knows Reed knows he wouldn’t have it any other way. He was named the MWV Career Technical Center Student of the Year; was the lead builder on the building construction trade’s tiny house project; and on Scholarship and Awards nights recently garnered numerous awards and scholarship. One of those was the coveted Damon O'Neal Scholarship.
Reed, 18, is the son of Stefan and Teri Wiley Karnopp of Kearsarge. He plans to attend Central Maine Community College in Lewiston, Maine, to major in electromechanical technology.
