CHS Report

Principal’s Report

Carrabec High School

April 2, 2025

The March Student of the Month was Josephine Scheve.  Josephine is the daughter of Eryn and Matthew Scheve of New Portland.  Josephine has been active in athletics, drama and in addition she has been serving on the Youth Advisory Board for Somersett Public Health.

I would like to extend public congratulations to the math team and Mr. Collard.  They won the East-West math league championship.  This is the fourth year in a row that the team has accomplished this feat.  The team was greeted by cheering classmates as they returned to CHS on the afternoon of March 13.

The drama club performed at the One Act Regional Competition.  I thought the troupe nailed it.  Unfortunately, the judges did not agree.  The drama club is going to put on a dinner theater consisting of two one act plays on May 23.  The dinner will consist of spaghetti, salad, garlic bread with brownies for dessert.

On the evening of March 18, the incoming freshmen and their parents had a meeting to learn about next year’s class offerings.  The meeting was well attended.  The parents that I talked to about the meeting expressed their gratitude for the helpful information they received. 

The  parent advisory group met on Thursday March 20.  The topics we focused upon were “Senior Privileges, Co-curricular Eligibility, Homework and Grading Procedures”.  The discussion on each topic was lengthy and will be combined with staff and student input to generate recommendations for the board.  The parent advisory group will meet again on June 10.  

The teacher advisory group also met to discuss these same topics.  The teachers have proposed that each course offered at CHS will have a course syllabus that provides a course description, grading procedures and homework expectations.  The teachers will be utilizing the PD time on April 2 to complete this project.

The week of March 24-28th was a Spirit Week.  Monday's themes of Cookout Dad or Soccer Mom were a great hit with most students being cookout dads.  I supervised one group of cookout dads as they cooked breakfast outside using a small Coleman stove.  The theme of Iconic Duos or groups was a big hit also. The Three Chipmunks made an appearance as well as a couple of musical groups which sang at break time.  The week ended with the senior class hosting the Spring Fling Dance.
