On April 3, 2010, Saige Weeks received this year's Maine Pricnipal's Award from Greenville High School. Each year, for 26 years, the outstanding high school senior from each MPA member school is presented the award by the principal of his or her school at an honors luncheon. This year's luncheon was held at the Spectacular Events Center. The criteria for this award are academic excellence and outstanding school citizenship. Saige fully embodies these characteristics with her dedication to her studies such as AP courses and on-line Academ-e college courses. In addition, she has not only held several leadership positions at school, including Key Club president and Student Council president, but she has modeled true service and leadership by participating in a medical mission at an orphanage in Vietnam last summer. Saige will be study psychology at the University of Maine next year. | | |

Greenville High School is one of 4 schools in Maine that made it on the Newsweek Magazine’s “America’s Best High Schools” list as determined according to the Challenge Index (a calculation based on AP tests taken and numbers of students graduating).
GHS was in the top 1000 schools on the list. In Maine, GHS, with a ranking of 865th, was 3rd behind Yarmouth (234) and Cape Elizabeth (718), but ranked above Bangor High School (1466). Of the 4 Maine schools on the list, GHS has the highest rate of subsidized lunches, an indicator of greater challenges in educating students.

On Monday, November 19, 2009, students in grades 5-12 spent their day
with visitors from the community. The event was promoted by the Diversity Committee and was meant to expose our students to the range of talents and skills in our community. The Diversity Committee wants our stdents to see how diverse we are here in our small community. The goal is to have students accept, and eventually appreciate, one another's differences, but initially they need to understand that there is diversity and richness all around us. This is also a fantastic opportunity for the community to interface with the school.
An added benefit to this event was that our "Jobs for Maine Graduates"students planned and implemented the entire event. Under the direction of our new JMG Specialist, Becky Cima-Bardosy, students contacted presenters, grouped students, planned the schedule, assisted presenters, and a host of other tasks necessary to coordinate such a large scale endeavor. The students did an outstanding job.

| As appeared in the statewide JMG newsletter. Students of JMG – Greenville were unable to attend LEC, but we still had fun interviewing a local businessman, Wayne Noyes. A pair of students interviewed him over the phone, they practiced valuable phone skills while getting to know a local talent. Students have been working hard to get the school store up and running. They have had to make decisions on inventory, pricing, employee schedules, and an employee handbook. Greenville school has not had a school store in a few years and all of the students are glad to have it back. Students have been able to gain practical experience with buying and selling items, using a cash register, and being accountable for inventory. Our next project is a Diversity Fair scheduled for November 23, 2009, JMG classes have been asked to take charge of this year’s fair. Students have been working on coming up with local talent and contacting individuals to participate in our fair. The response has been fantastic. | | |

| The year has been a busy one here in Greenville. We moved into a new space - next to and in the shop room. Also, we are developing a new focus for the High School program exploring personal entrepreneurial opportunities and needs of the Moosehead area. We plan on accomplishing this through a series of guest speakers, site visits and many projects. By utilizing local talents and experience we are planning to showcase available option to students willing to take risks and work hard.
In September the seventh graders had the opportunity to travel to Cow Island in Casco Bay for group challenges and some kayaking. All of them should be proud of the praise for good manors and willingness to contribute positively they received from numerous JMG specialist. A few weeks later Dylen Beane, Nicky DiPalma, and Becca Hamilton traveled to Pine Tree Camps for Project Reaches ROLES: {Reach Officers Leadership Education Seminar} where they joined students from across the state to participate in more challenges, recording public service announcements and mock scenarios. The first quarter came to a close with Bank of America's "Choices Program". The program focuses on scenarios highlighting how each student has the power of making choices. The 'key' to success in this program is the power of self discipline.

The students in grade 3 are learning about the trees in their school forest. Each student has chosen a specific tree to research. They will be gathering the following info over the next couple of months: tree traits, such as diameter, circumference, height, bark, leaves; seasonal changes; health of tree; habitat; signs of animals using the tree,etc. To gather their data, students strap on snowshoes and get an added benefit of honing their skills at this great outdoor winter activity.
The sticks that the students are carrying in the picture are Biltmore sticks, which are used to determine tree diameter and height.
This is one of the many nature-based science units that the Maine Woods Explorer Program of NREC implements in partnership with Greenville Schools to offer our students an individualized, unique learning experience.

| For the second time in as many years, Greenville High School has been named by Newsweek Magazine as one of the top 1,300 high schools in the country.
A total of four schools from Maine made the list, with Greenville placing third. The three other Maine schools are Yarmouth, Cape Elizabeth and Bangor.
The Challenge index is calculated as a ratio of students taking AP classes and the total school population. A school must have an index of at least 1,000 to be included on list.
Additionally, the socio/economic background of many of our students differs dramatically from their peers in Yarmouth and Cape Elizabeth. While the percentage of students who received federally subsidized lunch in those two towns is 4% and 3.7% respectively, 45% of Greenville students receive subsidized lunch.
To put things into perspective, there are 26,407 public high schools in the country. Greenville's inclusion in the top 1,300 is certainly a distinction of which we all can be proud. | | |
