"We have received official word from the Penobscot and Loring Job Corps Centers that there will be a nation-wide "pause" starting June 30th. Current Job Corps students are now actively being "phased out" of the program. We welcome any former Telstar High School student in need of additional support to contact the Extended Learning Opportunities office at THS by emailing Carrie Lynch at lynchc@sad44.org. We will all be here to support you moving forward."

In case you get a phone call as a local business soliciting your participation in this project, this is something that Gail Wight and John Eliot have approved. Your option to participate or not is completely up to you, but we wanted you to know this is not a scam and something that Telstar High School is trying for 2025-2026 starting with the fall sports schedules. Thank you!


Sorry, change of plans, Thursday, April 3, 2025, 7:46am. My apologies for changing, but road conditions are getting worse vs better so we will now have a SNOW DAY today instead of a 2hr delay.
Thank you.

2 hr delay today for all MSAD#44 schools, Thursday, April 3, 2025
Region 9 is remote today.

There will be a 1hr delay today for all MSAD#44 schools, Monday, March 31, 2025 due to back and side road conditions to make sure everyone can get to school safely.


Emily Read Daniels, author and creator of The Regulated Classroom (TRC), provided a full day training to staff K-12 at Sunday River today. Throughout the school year TRC trainers and facilitators taught staff the basics of felt safety, polyvagal theory, and the four core practices: connectors, activators, settlers, and affirmations. Emily provided additional information as she demonstrated these core practices and helped the staff learn how to track body state and recruit social engagement to enhance student (and self) regulation. As you can see, there were a lot of smiles (and some tears), movement, and engagement. At the end of the session each staff member shared a "glimmer" or a positive cue of safety from the day.
Thank you to Emily for making the trip to MSAD 44 and to Sunday River for providing the space, refreshments, snacks, and lunch.





Good morning, we are going to have an early dismissal at 11:30am today, Monday, March 24, 2025 in MSAD#44 due to the anticipated snow this afternoon before road conditions deteriorate.

Bethel native and Telstar alumni Tristan Lilly not only competed out west in the Kings and Queens competition, he dazzled them and rocked it! Tristan has been chasing his dream since HS competing in freestyle and backcountry skiing and this competition helped put him on a global stage placing 3rd overall.
