Maine South High School

Welcome Back, Hawks and thank you for making yesterday such a wonderful first day of school for all students!! We're tremendously excited for the 26-27 school year and we know it'll be the best!

We are excited to share that after last year’s conversations, surveys, and input from students, families, staff, and community members, our new strategic plan is complete! We created a video to provide an overview of the strategic plan - you can view it at bit.ly/D207SPVid or 🔗 in bio.

Additional information on the plan can be found at maine207.org/strategic-plan/.

Thank you to everyone who took the time to weigh in – this plan is stronger because of your voice, and we’re eager to put it into action.

Welcome Class of 2030! The 9th graders had an awesome first day today with the help of our Link Crew team. We're incredibly excited to welcome back all of our Hawks tomorrow - are you ready?!
