This morning our Jobs For Maine’s Graduates officers made a presentation to RSU 34 Superintendent, Matt Cyr, Assistant Superintendent, Jon Doty and OTHS administration.
Their “Full Plates, Full Potential” presentation revealed plans to refurbish the furniture and atmosphere in the cafeteria in an attempt to improve the lunch experience based on survey results of our students.
Allison Bond, Elizabeth Arnold, Hailey Bard & Ethan Mushero did an amazing job sharing survey results and ideas.
The plan is for implementation in the fall of 2023.

On Tuesday, the Coyote Battalion hosted the 3rd Annual Rogers Challenge. The event has morphed over the past few years from an internal event to a competitive Raider Challenge team event. Teams of nine Cadets from Bangor High School and Nokomis Regional High School joined the Coyotes at Victory Field on May 23rd. The event is named after Lieutenant Colonel Robert Rogers who in 1756, as a Major, organized nine companies of colonist to fight for the British in the Seven Years War. These were the first Ranger units and the cornerstone of our modern special operations forces.
Teams competed in three events that included marksmanship, a one rope bridge, and a fitness challenge. Teams conducted the marksmanship event at their home campus. Teams shot using the Three Position Air Rifle standards established by the Civilian Marksmanship Program. Scores of the top eight shooters were averaged to determine place standing. The marksmanship event was named after Brigadier General Frank Merrill. Brigadier General Merrill led a provisional regiment roughly 750 miles through the Burmese jungles during World War II. This organization known as “Merrill’s Marauders” would have five major engagements and 32 combat actions against the Japanese over a five-month period. Merrill’s Marauders were the forerunners to today’s Long-Range Surveillance and Reconnaissance units.
The Cadets of the Coyote Battalion performed well finishing first in both the Merrill (marksmanship) and Rudder (one rope bridge) events. They placed second to Nokomis in the Darby, trailing by less than a minute. The Coyotes took home the team title for the 2023 Rogers Challenge.
Today, JROTC cadets visited two local cemeteries and placed over 900 flags on Veterans' graves in preparation for Memorial Day.
