Extracurricular Activities

Athletic participation is an important part of school life, and the community takes great pride in the accomplishments of its athletes. Community, state and even national leaders can trace their development back to their Bangor athletic experience. The program offers a broad range of interscholastic sports for boys and girls, including: cross country, field hockey, football, soccer, cheering, swimming, hockey, basketball, track, tennis, softball, baseball, and golf. Bangor High athletics has experienced outstanding achievement during the past decade having earned dozens of State Class A Championships in boys' and girls' swimming and diving, boys' basketball, baseball and football. Academics supercede athletics, and a 2000 academic profile study indicates that 53% of the 614 athletes received high honor or honor grades; which compares extremely favorably to the state-wide average of 27%.

Our long-standing success in debate is marked by state championships and individual accomplishments. From the Lincoln Douglas State Champion award, to students who attend the Nationals, the Bangor School Department produces high quality debaters. Bangor also competes in Policy Debate, a two-person team where participants examine federal governmental policy, and have enjoyed equal success in this arena.

Our students have also garnered many District and All-State band, chorus and orchestra honors. Recently, ten of the seventy musicians selected for the annual All State Jazz Festival were Bangor students. The high school drama program has seen tremendous growth in student participation and curriculum refinement with the addition of focused study in theater and film. The co-curricular drama program has received numerous awards, and has hosted regional and state competitions and the 1999 New England Drama Festival.
