Memorial High School Update

I cannot express how proud I am of our students, staff and entire school community for a great first month of school. We have seen improvements in many areas and the school has been an extremely positive environment. We will continue to work with our transportation department to make improvements in that area. The continued growth at Memorial has me energized to keep getting better everyday. REMINDER - Open House will be Thursday, 10/5 from 6:00-8:00pm

Go Crusaders!

-Mr. St. Onge

One of our goals is to improve student attendance and tardiness. If students are struggling with attendance please reach out to our counseling department or our administration and office staff.

Our Senior Class expanded upon a recent tradition by having the Senior Sunrise at the beginning of the year. It was a great moment to kick off the year with some Dunks and Spikeball while they watched the sun rise over the school. We are so excited to celebrate their accomplishments this year. Such an awesome group! Class of 2024...Let's Go!

The Crusader Gamechangers were awarded at the CelebrateEd event on 9/23. These students and staff have had a positive "gamechanging" impact on our school. Congratulation to students, Bradley DeBlois, Torle Edumene, Mack Tripp, and teachers, Bill Petersen, Andrea DeWitt, and Dave Bailey.
