Dear RSU 29 School Community, I wanted to let our RSU 29 Community know about a rumored threat incident at HMHS which occurred on Monday 3/3. Just prior to 12:00pm a handful of students at HMHS reported they heard that a threat was going to be carried out at HMHS around 12:20pm. Administration began an investigation right away and found that there was no substantiated evidence or validated claims of an actual threat. Houlton Police were called in immediately to be supportive of staff and students during this time. Law enforcement also checked on Houlton Elementary School and Southside School. RSU 29 facilities were not in any danger. We appreciate the students who came forward to let us know of their concerns and thank the Houlton Police Department and US Border Patrol for their efforts to be present during this time. Thank you all for your patience and understanding.

Dear RSU 29 Families, At our January School Board meeting the district approved a slight change to the school calendar. On March 13th, we will be changing the planned workshop day into a regular student day. This is to make up for the student day we lost on December 11th, which we made a teacher professional day. We will have the planned early release day on March 12th with parent teacher conferences that afternoon/evening and a workshop day on March 14th. Please plan accordingly to be in school on March 13th. Thank you for your flexibility.
