Maine voices matter in shaping the future of our schools. The Maine Citizens’ Assembly on Education Priorities is bringing together 64 Mainers, ages 16–109, to learn, collaborate, and share ideas that can help strengthen PK–12 education across our state. No prior experience is needed—just a willingness to listen, learn, and contribute.

BHS and BRCOT had an evacuation this morning due to a smoke alarm going off in the Center of Technology's Culinary Kitchen.

To finish off our Student Internship Week, we have Noah! Noah has spent the spring working for local builder and BRCOT Alum Jamie Brouilllard who owns JP Builders Inc in Biddeford, ME . Noah shared his favorite aspect of this experience, "I think my favorite part of this entire internship is the variety of things you can do in the workforce. During class you focus on one thing at a time but in the field you do multiple things and expand your horizon and it gives you a realistic view on what you would be doing for the rest of your life." #MaineCTE

Today's Student Internship features Jaden. Jayden is expanding his skillset from our Welding program and work at Precision Machining & Fabrication in Westbrook, ME .

It has helped me plan my future, it’s helping me still it’s helping me find a stable job that I love doing and would want to do it for a long time..." #MaineCTE
