More of the "New Possible"

Did you know ...

• Manufacturing has been identified as a high-demand occupational and career sector in our state by Educate Maine.

• The National Association of Manufacturers reports that the U.S. manufacturing industry is currently faced with filling 2.6 million jobs that will soon be vacated by retirees.

• Local manufacturer, Twin Rivers Paper Company in Madawaska, is a business partner in our proposed comprehensive, integrated 7-16 regional school project.

• We could more effectively align core academic expectations with the applied technical learning in current and future programs at the St. John Valley Technology Center, if all our region's high school educators had the opportunity to form a single team focused on the design and delivery of integrated programming under one roof.

• We could more effectively address the workforce development needs of local employers like Twin Rivers, if we could provide equal access to career-focused learning, beginning in 9th grade, for all Upper St. John Valley students on a single campus. 

The proposed Valley Unified Regional School represents the "new possible" for the students, educators, employers, businesses, citizens, and communities of the Upper St. John Valley.
