Maine magnet school listed in top 100 in U.S.
Bangor Daily News, December 10, 2007
(excerpt) Commissioner Susan Gendron of the Maine Department of Education praised the achievement by MSSM as a "significant accomplishment," adding that it is "good recognition for Maine School of Science and Mathematics and demonstrates the success of this unique learning opportunity for students from all over Maine."
Gendron also lauded the 12 other Maine high schools to earn a place in the rankings. Silver medals were awarded to Bangor, Falmouth, Greely (in Cumberland) and Yarmouth high schools. Eight Maine schools earned bronze medals: Carrabec High School in Anson, Easton Junior-Senior High School, Greenville Middle-High School, Islesboro Central School, Katahdin Middle-High School in Stacyville, Lubec Consolidated School, Stearns High School in Millinocket and Washburn District High School.
Walter J. Warner, MSSM executive director, said Friday he is equally proud of the students, faculty and staff at the facility.
At this point, he said, 100 percent of MSSM graduates go on to four-year colleges and universities. Some alumni have started their own technology-related businesses or work in the technology field, while others are still in school, finishing up postgraduate or professional degrees.
