Last night, the RSU 57 School Board recognized three MHS students for their outstanding achievements. Senior Hunter VanBrocklin was chosen by the Maine Educators of Gifted and Talented (MEGAT) as the winner of the statewide student "Passionate Changemaker Award". Hunter had the opportunity to speak during the Fall 2023 MEGAT Conference at the end of October. Senior Jacob Lebrun and Junior Walker Vivian wrote essays last Spring for the AMVETS National "Americanism" contest. After advancing from local to state finals, Jacob and Walker won at the national level and attended the 2023 Spirit of America Youth Leadership Conference this past week. Congratulations, all!

As part of National School Bus Safety Week, RSU 57 hosted a BBQ for our Transportation Department and celebrated staff for the incredible work they do to keep our students safe on and off the road. Additionally, students across RSU 57 created designs that showed what "Safely Rolling to My Destination" means to them. Transportation staff had the opportunity to view all of the incredible designs and vote for their favorite. The Grand Prize Winner's design will be featured on the 2024 National Bus Safety Flyer!
Thank you to our Transportation Department employees for their continuous hard work and dedication to serving our community.





On October 14th, NJROTC cadets participated in their first Drill Competition in Dover, NH. After competing against four other schools, our Academic team took home first place! The Academic team is a group of cadets who have studied the NJROTC curriculum in-depth and go above and beyond what a typical cadet is expected to know in terms of academics. The next Drill Competition will be on October 28th in Oxford, MA. Way to go, Mustangs!
