The newest High School in Maine started classes yesterday with 21 students from all over Maine. These are students with an interest in Agriculture, Forestry or Environmental Science. This school is the second magnet school in the State, the first, Maine Academy of Math and Science is located in Limestone at the former Loring Air Force Base.
This school located in Hinckley, on and in the former Goodwill-Hinckley School that was established in 1889 by George Walter Hinckley after he witnessed a boy arrested for stealing food. He found out that boy was an orphan and had been assigned, at age 9, to work in a restaurant. He founded the school for troubled youth and it operated until 2008, with the mission or type of students changing over the years.
This is a large farm, 1200 acres, (that's large for Maine) which has been and will be active, that's how the students will learn to practice what they study in the classroom.
MANS is planning to work in partnership with the Kennebec Valley Community College, which will open a new campus on the grounds, to offered Associated Degrees in Agriculture and Forestry. What that means is that this campus could be home for a student for five years. Students in this years class come from all corners of the State and most will live on Campus.
