Gorham High School 41 Morrill Avenue, Gorham, ME 04038

"Great teachers and sports, except no pool? How do you have a high school built without a pool? Makes no sense. Need to work on more community and school support for music programs, including band and chorus, such as can be seen in some of the surrounding communities. The actual school is too small to handle the number of students attending. Very short-sighted when school last renovated by not adequately planning for the future growth of the town and the increase to the number of students that would result. Now the school has to use small trailers behind the school to make up for the lack of classroom space. The situation is only going to get worse. This problem should have been recognized and addressed over ten years ago by the town council and school board. Instead, they stuck their heads in the sand and hoped the problem would just go away. Now they appear to almost be in panic mode and they will probably make the wrong decision as to how to address the problem. The school budget is out of control and property taxes will continue to be raised each year because the residents just don't seem to care and every year approve the budget like trained sheep."
