After more than 20 years of planning and anticipation, the community is celebrating the groundbreaking of a new pre-K–grade 5 school campus—a major investment in students, families, and the future of education in Saco. Save the Date! The the third annual “I Belong” Youth Summit is coming to Central Maine Community College on May 21, 2026!

The creativity on display is absolutely inspiring! In October, Brewer Community School  hosted its inaugural “Bike Bus,” which was a huge success!

The Maine DOE is proud to honor the outstanding school employees who go above and beyond every day to support Maine’s students, schools, and communities.
