Closing Note
As we settle back into our school routines after a restful February vacation, we are excited to have everyone back in the building. Please keep safety in mind this week, especially with the travel delays and unpredictable weather predicted for the start of the week.
This is a momentous time for Gorham High School as we move into the final days of preparation for our NEASC Decennial Accreditation Visit, which begins this Sunday, March 1st. This visit is a wonderful opportunity to showcase our school community and the incredible dedication and excellence our students and staff display every day.
