The Old Rochester Regional School District will honor student Nolan Gibbons, who died in August, with a plaque to be displayed in the ORRHS music hallway.
The decision was made at a Dec. 9 ORR School Committee Meeting, where students Gabriella Berg and Kathleen Dunn presented options for the plaque and what to do with money raised in Gibbons’ honor.
“Nolan Gibbons was an outstanding artist with huge aspirations,” Berg said.
Gibbons died in his sleep in August. But in life, he was a winner of New England’s Got Talent and a musician who wrote, recorded and produced his own songs.
