Our Mission Statement

Searsport District High School provides a quality education for all its students. We foster academic success through a spirit of inquiry, high expectations, responsibility, and openness. Our school embraces individuality while expecting excellence from all. We recognized that students bring a variety of background, skills, and learning styles to our school and, using these strengths, we guide students toward academic achievement, personal growth, and social awareness. We open the doors of education to students, parents and community members in a safe and respectful climate that honors lifelong learning and service to society.

MSAD #56 Vision

Each person in the MSAD #56 communities is respected and valued. Every person, as a life long learner, is encouraged and challenged in an environment that is emotionally and physically safe. School and community work as a team to support the whole person.

The District’s goal is to work together with students, parents and community to attain the learning results established by the District and the state. Active involvement of parents and community members in the educational process, along with staff and students is expected. Our expectation is for every individual to develop a positive self-image, reach his/her full potential and become a responsible and contributing member of society.

Education requires continuous and varied assessment to ensure that the changing needs of the learner are met. We are committed to this process with the understanding that the entire community is accountable for the results.
