Superintendent's Letter

Dear Parents and Citizens,

Scarborough is a rapidly growing community committed to the well being of all citizens. Its schools are an integral part of community life providing both children and adults with a broad range of social, cultural and educational opportunities.

Scarborough's school system is housed in modern facilities at strategic locations throughout the community. Its educational programs are student centered with choice being an essential part of the school systems philosophy. At our primary, intermediate and middle school phases children and parents have a choice of either graded or three-year multiage educational programs. Scarborough High School offers a diverse curriculum with a range of options including advanced placement courses and state of the art vocational education at two regional vocational/technical schools.

Student athletic, art and academic success are recognized at the regional, state and national levels. Athletes compete in a variety of sports including soccer, SHS 2006 Relay for Life Team Members football, cheering, cross-country, indoor and outdoor track, basketball, ice hockey, baseball, softball, tennis, golf and lacrosse. The Scarborough school system's commitment to the visual and performing arts is as impressive as its athletic programs. Student programs include choral and band in grades five through twelve, a wide range of visual art opportunities culminating with a week long art show for the public in the spring of each year and several theater productions at the high school. Academic success include 90% of the seniors going on to post secondary education, a designation by the Portland Press Herald that Scarborough High School is one of the top twenty high schools in the state as measured by its performance on the Maine Educational Assessment, and numerous Academic Decathlon and speech and debate state championships.

Perhaps our school system's greatest asset is the exceptionally strong commitment of teachers and staff. With parents as partners, the faculty strives to meet the individual needs of students. The staff also works industriously to insure that the schools are a safe and a desirable place for learning.

You are cordially invited to observe our programs and activities in Scarborough's schools. Please contact the school principal to make individual arrangements for your visit. If you wish to talk with the superintendent or any of the Central Office staff, please contact us at your convenience by calling (207) 730-4100 or e-mail

Sincerely yours,

David Doyle
Superintendent of Schools
