Mission and Vision
At Region 10, our mission is to develop students’ interests and strengths through rigorous and relevant academics integrated with technical education.

We collaborate with local businesses and industry partners to ensure our curriculum is current and aligned with industry needs, providing students with powerful and flexible pathways to post-secondary education and employment.
Impact on the Community
Region 10 Technical High School plays a vital role in the local community by preparing a well-equipped workforce to meet the demands of Maine’s evolving labor market. Our graduates are ready to contribute to various high-demand industries, thereby helping to stem the outmigration of young adults and addressing the “greying out” of Maine’s workforce. By offering college credits and industry credentials, we reduce the cost and time associated with post-secondary education, supporting both individual and economic growth in the Mid-Coast area.

The new school will combine academic excellence with career readiness, providing students with powerful and flexible pathways to success.

The transformation into a comprehensive technical high school is driven by the need to prepare students for high-wage, high-demand careers in Maine.

It will provide Maine’s employers with a well-prepared workforce, addressing the “greying out” of the workforce and reducing the outmigration of young adults. The school will minimize time lost due to scheduling and transportation challenges and align programs with the needs of employers in high-wage, high-demand jobs. Additionally, it will support the economic development of Brunswick Landing and the Mid-Coast area, improve the relevance of academic studies, boost student motivation and achievement, and offer college credits and industry credentials. This approach will also reduce the cost and time associated with post-secondary education through advanced concurrent enrollment, dual enrollment, and articulation agreements with Maine colleges.
