2007-2008

Welcome to the SPSD website. We hope you find our website provides you the information you need to be informed about our eight schools and our district. We welcome your feedback and suggestions.

Our district mission, "Enriching Lives Through Quality Learning For All," is the cornerstone of all of our work. To access our Comprehensive Education Plan which outlines our district goals and ongoing school improvement work, please follow the links.

An important component of our district focus continues to be our facilities. Thanks to a supportive community, all five of our district's elementary schools have been recently constructed or renovated to provide students with equitable learning spaces throughout the district. A School Board appointed Secondary School Facilities Committee has been working for three years to study and plan for renovation or reconstruction of our middle school and high school facilities. Middle School plans are being developed through the State Department's Priority School application process. A referendum for renovations and additions for south Portland High School goes to the voters on November 6, 2007. Please click here to see more information regarding the High School plan.

As a school department we are proud of our progress toward improving student achievement and value our community partnerships toward supporting the youth of South Portland.

Sincerely,

Suzanne Godin
Superintendent of Schools
