Massabesic High School

All 9th and 10th-grade students will be remote the week of March 15th through March 19th due to staffing issues. All 11th and 12th-grade in-person person learners should attend as regularly scheduled as well as all students in our Success Program, Day Treatment Program, and 10th-grade exploratory vocational students.

Good morning, We had a fire alarm go off this morning. I would like to thank the students and staff for following our procedures by moving outside to safety while the fire department cleared the alarm. There was not a fire, the building has been cleared, and the students have resumed their school day.

Scholarship packets are ready for seniors to pick up.
