MSAD #22 is comprised of the three towns of Hampden, Newburgh, and Winterport. Currently there are approximately 2200 students recieving an education at our seven schools. The district is growing and anticipates building a new high school within the next three years.

Four of the schools are elementary schools: Earl C.McGraw (grades K-2) and George B. Weatherbee (grades 3-5) in Hampden,
Newburgh Elementary (grades K-5) in Newburgh, and Leroy H. Smith (grades K-5) in Winterport.

Two of the schools are middle schools (grades 6-8): Reeds Brook serving Hampden and Newburgh and Samuel L. Wagner serving Winterport.

Hampden Academy (grades 9-12), is the single high school for the district. Total district enrollment is 2300 students who are instructed and supported by 375 administrators, teachers, specialists, and staff.

Academic achievement and enrichment through co-curricular activities are cornerstones of MSAD #22 programs. District students consistently achieve at the top on the state Maine Educational Assessment in all grades. The graduation rate from Hampden Academy is typically 97.73% with 66% - 4 year, 14% - 2 year typically planning to participate inpost-secondary education.

The school board annually establishes goals and objectives to foster the district mission. These goals center on student learning and achievement, quality staff, funding, facilities, use of data, technology and curriculum integration, and community involvement and cohesiveness. As superintendent, I annually report the year’s progress in meeting these goals and objectives.

High standards and strong outcomes in MSAD #22 are products not only of the work of district staff and students but also of the commitment to educational excellence of the citizens of Hampden, Newburgh, and Winterport. We believe that we all contribute to the education of our children.
