The RSU 57 Curriculum Committee warmly invites all students, staff, and community members to attend an upcoming Community Forum on Tuesday, May 13 at 6:00 PM in the Massabesic High School East Training Center. This forum will provide an opportunity to share updates on the RSU 57 Strategic Plan since its implementation last year and to strengthen connections between our schools and the broader community. As part of our ongoing commitment to building meaningful partnerships, we value your insights and ideas as we explore new ways to collaborate in support of our students and the greater RSU 57 community. The evening will begin with a brief presentation, followed by a discussion focused on the four key areas of the Strategic Plan: students, staff, community, and facilities. We hope to see you there and look forward to your participation in this important conversation!
Seventh grade Interdisciplinary Studies and Science students at MMS have been diving into the fascinating world of aquaculture through an exciting partnership with the Maine Aquaculture Innovation Center (MAIC) and the Boothbay Sea and Science Center. This collaboration has brought unique, hands-on learning opportunities into the classroom, allowing students to explore one of Maine’s most important coastal industries. This fall, students successfully grew two types of seaweed in their classroom, which are now thriving in the ocean and nearly ready to be harvested and returned to school. MAIC also supplied a variety of seaweed samples for students to study, offering them an up-close look at the species commonly cultivated in Maine. To further enrich the experience, students participated in a virtual session broadcast live from the boat of a local oyster and seaweed farmer, where they asked questions and learned about aquaculture directly from the source.
Massabesic Adult and Community Education (MACE) is proud to celebrate the 19 graduates who have earned their high school equivalency (HiSET) since July 1, 2024—with 8 more students on track to graduate before the end of this school year. Earning a high school credential opens the door to a wide range of opportunities. Our recent MACE graduates are considering career paths in fields like education, construction, electrical work, CNC machining, and military service. A high school diploma or equivalency is more than just a piece of paper—it’s a critical stepping stone toward a stable, meaningful career. In fact, 63% of jobs in the U.S. require at least a high school diploma, and individuals who earn theirs see, on average, a 53% increase in income over ten years. Whether you're looking for a better job, a more consistent schedule, or a fresh start, completing your high school credential is a powerful first step. We invite the entire community to join us in celebrating the accomplishments of these hardworking individuals at our upcoming graduation ceremony on June 18. All are welcome to attend. Contact Massabesic Adult and Community Education at 207-247-2022 to begin your journey today!
Good Morning, Mustang Nation! This is a friendly reminder that tomorrow, April 9th, is an Early Release Day for all RSU 57 students. Thank you.
On Friday, Massabesic High School hosted a special assembly during Mustang Time to celebrate junior Devenny Brickett, who was recently named Sanford Regional Technical Center’s (SRTC) Student of the Year. Devenny is currently enrolled in SRTC’s Health Occupations program, where she is working toward her CNA license while also serving as Class President and Vice President of the Student Council. A member of both the National Honor Society and National Technical Honor Society, Devenny has completed over 200 hours of community service and excels in athletics and competitive dance. Passionate about nursing—especially palliative care—she values the hands-on experience SRTC provides, which has strengthened her commitment to patient-centered care. During the assembly, SRTC Director Matt Petermann presented Devenny with the Student of the Year award, joined by her proud mother, KyleAnn. Devenny will be formally honored at the MACTE Student of the Year Banquet on May 3rd at Eastern Maine Community College in Bangor. Congratulations, Devenny!

In February, sixth graders from Massabesic Middle School raised $1,137 to support hygiene training in a South Sudanese village. Thanks to the generosity of our students and their families, these funds were designated for training during the village’s well-drilling season, which takes place from March to June.
Recently, we received photos of the training sessions made possible by this fundraising effort. In the images, trainees proudly pose with a banner displaying our school’s name—a powerful reminder of the positive impact our students have beyond their local community.
The hygiene education program focuses on critical topics such as personal hygiene, safe water practices, food safety, and proper waste disposal. By supporting this initiative, our students have helped improve the health and well-being of individuals, families, and entire communities.
Around the world, access to hygiene education and clean water enables people to stay healthy, attend school, earn an income, and build a brighter future. This initiative strengthens communities and truly "waters the seeds of change" in South Sudanese villages, aligning with the mission of the Iron Giraffe Challenge.
RSU 57 is incredibly proud of our students for their compassion and commitment to making a difference. We are also deeply grateful for the support of our families and community members, whose generosity helped make this initiative a success.
Good morning Mustang Nation - this is a reminder that we will begin our day with Block 1 at 7:30 am (there is no Homeroom today) to allow more time in our Mustang Time block for a survey activity.

Dear MHS Parents,
You may receive an increase in attendance notifications for your student because we have updated the settings on attendance calls. Parents/Guardians will now be receiving a call when your student is marked absent by their teacher for one or more blocks in a day. Please check ParentVue after receiving this notification to see what block(s) your student was marked absent for and contact the teacher to confirm if they were in class. If your student is going to be absent for a full day, please notify the office using the attendance line. This is a 24/7 line that allows you to leave a voicemail; we ask that you leave your name, the date, and the reason for absence.
-Mr. Thurlow
