Vaping among students has become a pressing issue in many schools, and the Sanford School Department has taken proactive measures to tackle this concern head-on. During the 2022-2023 school year, there were over 100 vaping violations at Sanford High School and Middle School combined. Last spring, the department established a committee comprised of school administration, counselors, outreach staff, health teachers, representatives from Southern Maine Health Care, and the school committee. The goal of the committee was to review the existing approach to vaping, identify what was working and what adjustments were needed, and develop a strategy to address this trend.

Good morning. After careful consideration and consultation with Law Enforcement and area Superintendents, Sanford schools will be closed on Friday October 27, 2023 due to the ongoing events in Lewiston and across our state. As a community, we are continuing to grapple with the grief and the senseless acts of this tragedy. This decision to close school is not made lightly. We know that school is important to students, staff and families. Thank you for your understanding and support.

Najhaun Simpson, a Sanford Middle School 8th Grader, has taken on a unique role alongside School Resource Officer Joe Jourdain. Every morning from 7:15 a.m. to 7:40 a.m., Najhaun assists Officer Jourdain in the drop-off line in front of the school. Najhaun helps direct incoming traffic and allows students to cross the street on their way to the school safely. On one chilly Friday morning, Najhaun is waving for cars to come through and directing them to stop when students are crossing, all while providing infectious energy. As students walk into the school, Najhaun gives them his smile. More often than not, he'll give a student a fist bump as they walk in. His enthusiasm gives the students the extra jolt of positivity they need to continue their day. Officer Jourdain says Najhaun has that same personality all day long. "I have parents tell me that he makes their day, and love seeing him in the morning," Officer Jourdain said. "He brings a smile to everyone's face because that is just who he is." Before helping Officer Jourdain in the mornings, Sanford Middle School teacher Amy Greene Lamb said she had observed Najhaun greeting staff and students each morning in her wing of the building. She noticed how students' demeanors would instantly change when he said hello and waved and smiled. "Faces just light up! I've seen the same thing happen in the drop-off line!" she said.
