Update: Currently OTHS will offer internet connection from the high school parking lot for educational purposes through our Guest network. For those that can remember, it is very much like a "drive-up" internet service.
ATTENTION OLD TOWN HIGH SCHOOL Community - Yearbook pages will be added showing what our students are doing during this time at home. If your child/ children are doing school work, virtual tours, reading, or anything else school related please take a picture of them and email it to me at christina.turner@rsu34.org

All items not collected in lockers will be discarded for safety reasons.
RSU 34:: In an effort to proactively slow the spread of COVID-19, RSU #34 schools will be closed beginning Tuesday March 17th. We will continue to monitor conditions that would lead us to believe it is prudent to re-open schools and notify you immediately when we do re-open. No classes, clubs, or activities will be held, and our school buildings will be closed to the public. Again, this closure is subject to change as the situation develops and new information becomes available.
