Across every grade level, we’ve been recognizing students for their hard work, growth, and accomplishments throughout the year. From elementary to middle to high school, there is so much to celebrate!

As our seniors graduate, our fourth graders are excited to take the next step to middle school, and our eighth graders are ready to begin their high school journey. 🎓

Congratulations to all of our students on an amazing year—we can’t wait to see what’s next for each of you!

South Portland Middle School students recently got to do a job shadow at Hadlock Field! ⚾ Students toured the facility and learned about the different jobs within the sports industry from the Sea Dogs staff. From creating and pitching their own theme night ideas to competing in an on-field race just like the ones fans love at games, students got a true behind-the-scenes look at the creativity, teamwork, and excitement that goes into this profession!

During World Cultures Day at South Portland Middle School, students celebrated and learned from the many cultures that make up our community through hands-on workshops and activities. From Challah making and Mi’Kmaq drumming to karate, dancing, cooking, rugby, and more, the day was filled with learning, connection, and fun.

Students explored new traditions, shared experiences, and celebrated the diversity that makes our school community so special. Thank you to all of the staff, students, families, and community members who helped make the day such a meaningful and memorable experience!
