A NEW EDUCATIONAL MODEL FOR A NEW ECONOMY - Posted: 2.06.07
Over the past three years, a group of Maine educators and community leaders in Knox County have been exploring a new integrated, community-based approach to delivering education in the Midcoast region, one that would bring together public high schools, higher education, and career/technical preparation. This bold idea is called Many Flags/One Campus, and it will create a dynamic educational hub in the heart of the Midcoast. Six educational institutions have signed on to the project: Georges Valley High School, Rockland District High School, the Mid-Coast School of Technology, Kennebec Valley Community College, the University of Maine’s Hutchinson Center and University College at Thomaston, and a soon-to-be established Marine Systems Training Center.
