The Maine Excellence in Arts Education showcase is a statewide event that highlights student artwork. Jay Ackley Grade 12 and Kayla Chen Grade 9 have had their artwork selected by a panel of professional artists to be displayed at this prestigious location. The exhibit is a collaboration between the Maine Arts Commission (a state agency supporting the arts), MECA&D (Maine College of Art & Design), the Scholastic Art & Literary Awards, and Maine's two congressional offices. These organizations provided access to submissions from various art competitions to select the showcased pieces. The exhibit will run from March 12 to May 30, 2025, and will feature artwork from students across the state. It’s a wonderful honor for Jay Ackley and Kayla Chen to have their work selected for this exhibition at the Capitol! #mainesuperintendent #teambrunswickme #maineartscommission #maineexcellenceinartseducation Jay Ackley 12 Love for my Dog Painting Kayla Chen (pictured) 9 Silent Gestures Drawing & Illustration

“An unforgettable day at the Augusta Capitol! 🇺🇸✨ Brunswick High School’s FLS class got the VIP experience on March 13th—interviewing Secretary of State Shenna Bellows and exploring the historic grounds with Loren Arford and our very own Rep. Poppi Arford! From hands-on learning to behind-the-scenes insights, our students got a front-row seat to democracy in action! #mainesuperintendent #teambrunswickme #FutureLeaders #BrunswickHighSchool #MaineCapitolAdventure”

Welcome to the world of science at Brunswick High School, where curiosity meets creativity!

Carla Selberg What do you do for Brunswick School Department? I teach Family and Consumer Science at Brunswick High School which currently include four different semester electives: Food Science, International Cuisine, Parenting/Child Development, and Fiber Arts. I have also taught Housing and Life Management. I have been the faculty advisor for the Baking Club for the last 4 years -organizing cooking competitions and experiences. How long have you been with BSD? I have been a teacher at BHS for 18 years. When my children were in Brunswick's Longfellow Elementary School, I was a substitute teacher for about 4 years. What do you enjoy most about working at BSD? Working at Brunswick High School and getting to teaching the subjects that I love has been my "dream" job. I love to see the students change, grow, become confident and successful! I teach grades 9-12 so I get to meet a lot of students when they arrive as Freshman and am so proud to see all they have accomplished by the time they graduate. BHS has a culture that promotes excellence, personal growth, and school spirit! I love the school, the staff, the students, and the wide variety of curriculum offerings. What do you plan to do on your first day of retirement? Sleep in, go out for lunch and play in my sewing room! What do you look forward to most in your retirement years? The gift of “time”. Time for fun activities with my family and friends. Time to create more quilts as illustrations for children’s books. Time for long walks, sewing marathons, playing with my granddaughter, and traveling with my husband! Tell us about one of your most memorable moments while working in Brunswick. One year, during an open house a former student came to visit me. He shared that he graduated from a culinary arts school and was now a head chef in a restaurant. He came to thank me for inspiring him and giving him the confidence to pursue this career. I had no idea that I was planting a seed in this quiet freshman that would change the trajectory of his life. That is the reason that I love to be a teacher - I made a positive difference in the life of a student.

🚒🔥 Huge shoutout to Fire Chief Brillant and Assistant Fire Chief Josh Shean for taking the time to serve lunch at HBS recently! Your dedication to our community goes beyond emergency response—thank you for keeping us safe and for bringing smiles to our students and staff! 🙌🥪 #MaineSchoolSuperintendent #TeamBrunswickME #CommunityHeroes

BHS ended their Snogard Spirit week with Winter Carnival! We had Henna Tattoos, Friendship Bracelets, Apples to Apples, Mario Smash Bros, Slime making, Karokee, Crocheting and Knitting, plus charades and more! Then at the Unified vs. Staff mini basketball game pep rally, 12th grader Pep Committee President, Parker Jones, shaved his head because we had enough people attend the rally to cheer on all of our amazing players! Woo what a whirlwind! #mainesuperintendent #teambrunswickme #unifiedbasketball #brunswickhighschool #wintercarnival #woo

During the week of Winter Carnival at BHS, there was an epic basketball Knockout game where we had ninth grader Meridian LaCasse win against 4 students from each grade. 10th grader Kalan Farrell was second, and 10th grader Seth Labrecque took third place. Today was superhero day at school, as well, so many of our participants looked mighty super! #mainesuperintendent #teambrunswickme #brunswickhighschool #knockoutbasketballgame #wintercarnival

For Winter Carnival Spirit Week at BHS, we had teams of each grade compete in a twist on tic tac toe! Grade 12 students won the whole competition with grade 10 students coming in close 2nd, followed by grade 9 students and grade 11 students. Faculty got left in the dust with last place, hoping to avenge their loss in future Winter Carnival games! #mainesuperintendent #teambrunswickme #brunswickhighschool #wintercarnival #tictactoerelay #studentsvsteachers

Shari Tarleton Music Teacher at BJHS How long have you been with BSD? 31 years What do you enjoy most about working at BSD? The thing I enjoy most about working at BSD is all of the amazing students that I get to create music with every single day. What do you plan to do on your first day of retirement? I hope I will remember to not get up and head into school for a morning rehearsal. What do you look forward to the most in your retirement years? I look forward to having the time to travel and see a lot of places and a lot of theater. Tell us about one of your most memorable moments while working in Brunswick. One of the joys of teaching chorus is that there are memorable moments every single class. I love watching the music kick in and the voices take over as the ensemble works together to create so many emotions. It never gets old.
