A Message from Principal Norris Nickerson
Bangor High School was selected by the U.S. Department of Education as a 2001-2002 National Blue Ribbon School of Excellence in recognition of the effort our entire school-community makes in ensuring that our graduates are well prepared to explore future education and career options. Administrators, faculty, parents, students, and the larger community work together to raise aspirations, enhance educational programming, and prepare each student to be a well informed and involved citizen.
One of the largest high schools in Maine, Bangor High School is a comprehensive secondary institution serving approximately 1,500 students in grades nine through twelve. Our shared vision, as outlined in the Bangor School Department High School Statement of Purpose, is to encourage academic excellence by providing each student the opportunity to realize his or her potential. Academic excellence is defined as the creation of a challenging educational environment wherein all students can aspire to higher intellectual levels.
A rigorous, diversified curriculum is offered to students of all ability levels by an experienced, multi-talented faculty that seeks to instill in each individual pupil a love for learning and a desire to continue his or her education beyond high school. Students are offered an extensive selection of courses in every department, and are encouraged and guided to elect an appropriately challenging program of studies.
Extensive extra and co-curricular offerings afford each student exciting opportunities to actively explore and develop individual strengths, interests and talents in a wide range of areas. All students are strongly encouraged to participate in activities and programs of personal choice so that, throughout high school, they will continue to realize their potential for success both in and outside of the classroom.
Bangor High School students have a history of distinguishing themselves as outstanding academic, athletic, and community leaders. As a school-community, we take great pride in their noteworthy accomplishments and look forward every year to their continued growth and development.
