We've reached the time of year where things start moving very quickly, especially for our Seniors! This is a reminder that General Scholarship Applications and a number of local scholarships are due by the end of the school day on Thursday, May 1st - not counting today, that means just TEN school days until the deadline!
(Side Note: This deadline applies to the General Scholarship Application and a number of local scholarships. Students should always keep in mind that other available scholarships may have drastically different deadlines.)
Congratulations, Mr. Karcher!

Hosted on-campus at Maine’s community colleges, these immersive programs provide real-world experience in fields like healthcare, hospitality, manufacturing, welding, and technology.
Programs start in June and July, giving students the chance to earn industry-recognized credentials before the fall. Many programs connect students directly with employers, offering interviews and job placement opportunities upon completion. Some campuses—including Central Maine, Eastern Maine, Southern Maine, and Washington County Community Colleges—also offer free lodging on a first-come, first-served basis. Students can choose to stay on campus for a full college-life experience or commute from home."
