Working collaboratively with others, including colleagues, families, students, and board members to elevate their collective efforts on behalf of every student, is what RSU 14’s Christine Frost-Bertinet says is the most rewarding aspect of her work with the school district.

In the beginning of February, several middle and high schoolers in the region were given a huge responsibility to raise trout from eggs. Windham Middle School and Jordan-Small Middle School from RSU 14 were among the 20 schools throughout Southern Maine that will take care of these fish for three months.

For RSU 14’s Robert Hickey, continuing advances in technology bring students together while creating opportunities for learning and growth and staying out in front of evolving trends and innovations is something he takes seriously.

From the very start of the season, the Windham varsity boys’ basketball team showed they had what it took to go all the way. On Saturday, March 2 at the Cross Insurance Arena in Portland during the AA state championship against Gorham, Windham fought hard for 32 minutes – forced overtime – and came away with the first gold ball in the program’s history after a 62-58 win.

After teaching students at different levels ranging from Kindergarten through Eighth Grade, Deborah Milair found her ideal position as a Fifth-Grade teacher at Manchester School in Windham and says she loves coming to work every day.

Meg Sparrow believes that a great teacher is a compass that activates the magnets of curiosity, wonder, and wisdom in her students and it’s what she does every day in her duties as a Fifth-Grade classroom teacher at Manchester School in Windham.

Windham boys’ varsity basketball coach Chad Pulkkinen has been honored as 2024 North AA Coach of the Year by the Maine Association of Basketball Coaches. He describes the award as a representation of his team and says he gratefully shares it with his players and assistant coaches George McCrillis, Geoff Grigsby, and Noah Estey.

Due to the snowfall and difficult driving that is predicted for tonight and tomorrow, all RSU 14 Schools and Programs will be closed on Thursday, April 4.
Have a safe day
