Noble High School is a public high school in North Berwick, Maine, United States, serving students in grades 8-12 from the towns of Berwick, North Berwick, and Lebanon.

History

From 1969-2001, Noble High School was located at what is presently Noble Middle School. For the 32 years that NHS was located at this site, the school served the three towns. This site was suitable for a period, but as populations increased within the towns, NHS became very overcrowded. The school was designed for about 550 students, but by 1995 there were over 900 students in the school. As well as overcrowding issues, the facility was very outdated and did not accommodate the needs of the school. Due to the surrounding area, there was also a need for a community facility to serve the rural towns in the district. Pam Fisher, a former NHS principal, was very involved in the process of creating the new school. A committee of community members was created to plan for the new school. The design of the school was highly influenced by the Principles of MSAD 60, and the Coalition of Essential Schools. The school opened in 2001. [5] [ better source needed ]

Building

Noble High School was designed not only as a school but a community hub, for the three rural towns it serves. The 1000 seat Hussey Theatre has been used for theatrical productions, town meetings, and other events that require the use of the theatre. The school formerly held a 50-seat restaurant, named the Round Table. This functioned as a part of the regional vocational program, where students learned to cook and operate a restaurant open to the community. Noble also had an early childhood education center that served eight surrounding towns' vocational programs. The regional vocational program has since moved to the Sanford Regional Technical Center in neighboring Sanford. [6] [7] Noble High School is also home to Noble Adult & Community Education. Other facilities such as the library/media center, fitness facility, 2 gymnasiums, and a lecture hall are all available to be used by the community.[ citation needed ]

Noble High School has won many awards for the architecture of the building. NHS has received 13 awards for the design and functionality of the building. In 2002, the building was awarded the William W. Caudill Citation Award. [5] [ better source needed ]
