We were honored to welcome Senator Susan Collins to our beautiful new school in September!
It was an exciting opportunity to showcase our cutting-edge classrooms, innovative outdoor learning spaces, and the incredible work of our passionate educators. Senator Collins even spent time reading to students — a highlight of the day for everyone!
Adding to the buzz, students from Somerset Career and Technical Center’s (SCTC) Digital Graphics program captured the visit while practicing their photography skills. Senator Collins also stopped by SCTC’s Early Childhood Education & Teaching program, where high schoolers gain hands-on experience by partnering with elementary classrooms.
We’re so proud of our students and educators for making this visit such a memorable day!
