October 2026 Board Report

Bruce Dostie, Principal

We have had a great start to the school year at Carrabec High School! Our students and staff have been working hard, and it has been exciting to see the positive things happening throughout the building.

One of our highlights this month has been the work of Mrs. Vicneire and her Alternative Education students. We are extremely proud of this group and the dedication they have shown. Their work is a wonderful example of the opportunities we can provide when we think outside the box and allow students to demonstrate their strengths in different ways.

Mrs. Vicneire submitted an article highlighting the accomplishments of her Alternative Education students to the Maine Department of Education's Good News from Schools publication. We are very proud of these students and the work they are doing. Their efforts deserve to be recognized and celebrated! Maine DOE Good News from Schools 

Homecoming Week was filled with a lot of excitement throughout Carrabec High School! Students and staff showed their school spirit with dress-up days, class competitions, and hallway decorating throughout the week. It is always great to see the creativity, friendly competition, and Cobra pride that these activities bring to the building.

The week also featured our Homecoming soccer games, giving our students and community an opportunity to come together and support our athletes. We wrapped up the festivities on Friday night with the Homecoming Dance.

We have also been completing our NWEA assessments and beginning the important work of analyzing the results. Our teachers are having educational conversations with students, helping them understand their strengths, identify areas for growth, and set meaningful goals. We are using this information to make adjustments to our curriculum and instruction to better meet the needs of our students.

Attendance continues to be a major focus. We have been making phone calls home to communicate our concerns with students and families regarding missed school days. We have also conducted home visits with Deputy Pike to check on students who have been absent and work with families to get them back into school. We will continue these efforts to ensure our students have every opportunity to be successful.

Overall, we have had a great start to the year! 

GO COBRAS!!!
