Is it too late to buy a yearbook?

No. It is not too late.

Yearbooks can be purchased on jostens.com. This online opportunity will remain open until approximately June 4th; follow the path for Massabesic, Waterboro, High school, yearbook. After this date we can accept money (cash or check) and place the order for anyone who would like to still order a book. The money goes right into the MHS Yearbook account and goes to covering the cost of producing/printing the book.

*Signature booklets will be available to students who have a purchased book recorded. I am able to check a purchase report list, if anyone is not sure.

*Just see/email me. The yearbooks are $90, even.

Will books arrive before school ends?

No, they will arrive at the High School the first week of August. There will be a sign in front of the school signaling they are here. For the past 4 years, our MHS yearbooks have covered the entire year, for the whole school; including all 3 sport seasons, events, academics, etc. through graduation. The last pages are finished the weekend after the graduation ceremonies, and the book goes off to the printers. Not every school has this benefit. They have their senior year recorded thru Fall and Winter only, and then Spring events (PROM, Sports ,Graduation) is from the previous school year. This is where MHS stands out. The Book usually arrives, at the High school, the first full week of August. They are then inspected, counted, and sorted then distributed to families/students.

Expected dates and time for 2026 pick-up:

August 7th-Friday, 8th-Saturday and 9th-Sunday

Friday, August 7th: 3pm-7pm

Saturday, August 8th: 10am-2pm

Sunday, August 9th: 1pm-5pm

*Please contact for questions, or issues: heidifryzlewicz@rsu57.org

**Once you've received your book, in August, if you are not satisfied we can only refund money for a returned, undamaged/unmarked book.

Thank you for your purchase!

This week, the Resiliency Club continued our Spread Kindness Campaign by giving students the opportunity to write "thank you" notes to individuals in their lives whom they wish to recognize. Additionally, they had the chance to write kindness messages, which have been posted around the school.

We have placed poster boards throughout the school that students have filled with messages of kindness, featuring phrases such as "You are loved," "You matter," and "You are beautiful just the way you are." Each morning, we start the day with a quote about kindness during the morning announcements.

We are thrilled to see the students at MHS actively engage in spreading kindness, and there is a noticeable positive vibe in the building as we approach the end of the school year.

Eligibility for NCAA Division I or Division II college athletics is dependent not only on a student's athletic abilities but also on the academic preparation the student pursues in high school.

For more in depth information, students and families should refer to a Guide for the College-Bound Student Athlete 2025-26. The NCAA updates this guide each school year, and students and families should double check the updated guide each fall.
