The new multi-purpose fieldhouse is widely considered to be one of the finest in the state of Maine at the high school level. The new gym was recently used in its first public event since opening to hold the Commencement ceremonies for the graduating Class of 2007.
Center for the Arts With the new fieldhouse/gym project completed, the school plans to break ground on a new theater complex in 2007. It is planned to serve more than just the theater production program. Aside from a stage and seating, the plans have three galleries to be in the complex. A scene shop to assist in productions is also currently drawn into the plans. This project is supposed to run similarly to the gym; the theater is supposed to be completed in about a year's time.
