RSU 57 & Massabesic High School

"Preparing students for success in an ever-changing world."

Hello Mustang Nation,

Congratulations to you all as we enter our final week (a quick two and a half days) of the 2023-2024 school year. We have surely covered a lot of ground this year, and I hope each of you our proud of the work you have put in to make your school year successful.

Our final day, Wednesday, is an early release of 11:00 AM at the High School & Middle School, with Elementary Schools dismissing at 12:00 pm. We have a special day planned for Wednesday morning with an agenda of the day posted below (Last Day of School Student Send-Off Schedule).

Our summer schedule is fluid and although we strive to have the office open as much as possible, the best way to reach our administrative team is via email throughout the next ten weeks.

Take care,

-Mr. Thurlow

Massabesic High School is pleased to share that grade 11 student, Bennett Gibson will attend Dirigo State, June 16-21, 2024, on the Colby College Campus in Waterville, ME. Formerly Boys and Girls State, this co-educational event is designed after the Maine State government. Participants will create their own town, county, and state governing bodies, learning how governments function and operate - as well as experience a week living in a dorm and eating in a college cafeteria. Please join MHS in thanking the American Legion Brown Emmons Post 134 in Alfred for generously sponsoring Bennett's participation in this year's Dirigo State Program.

The Class of 24' has added flower beds and hanging plants to one of the courtyards at MHS as part of their class gift. A special thank you to Zoe Rose McMann, Azreal Mowery, Alden Holovacs, Hunter LePage and the National Honor Society for gardening and cleaning up the space. The Class of 24' will continue to add more flowers and 8 picnic tables throughout the three courtyards at MHS.

Dear Students & Families,

Exciting news! Your student is invited to join us on a once-in-a-lifetime international travel experience with their peers on a trip about World War 2 in England and France in February 2026!

When students travel, they expand their knowledge of the world around them, discover more about themselves, and grow more confident. These skills are critical for creating the global citizens of tomorrow, and I would love to have your student join me on this adventure.

The meeting will take place on Wednesday, 5/29 at 5:30 pm in the MHS Auditorium. In this info session, we’ll talk about:

• How this opportunity will benefit your child

• What we’ll see and do on our trip

• Everything that’s included in this experience

• How your child can earn academic credit

• How we’re keeping this safe and affordable

• How to enroll on this trip (before it fills up!) during EF’s risk-free enrollment period
