The Maine Department of Education congratulates Donna Olsen, a history teacher at Lewiston High School (Lewiston Public Schools) and Maine’s 2026 History Teacher of the Year, as one of 10 finalists for the Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History’s 2026 National History Teacher of the Year Award. Olsen’s advancement to the final stage of this prestigious national award demonstrates her dedication to Lewiston High School students, the Lewiston community, and history education across Maine. In celebration of Native American Heritage Month, the Maine Department of Education (DOE) invites educators and communities to engage students in learning about the enduring presence, contributions, and rich cultures of the Wabanaki Nations, who have lived in the place we now call Maine for more than 13,000 years. The 2026-2026 Arts Learning Exchange Series has begun! We are excited to co-host this amazing series with the Maine Arts Commission! The Maine Department of Education (DOE) Coordinated School Health Team is excited to announce the launch of the 2026-2027 School Health Webinar Series.
