Sanford Regional Technical Center brought together students from all of our partner schools for a fantastic day of outdoor fun and team building last Friday. Both our morning and afternoon students got to enjoy the beautiful weather, fresh air, and some friendly competition!
Last week, 11 outstanding female student-athletes from Sanford High School attended the 2025 Maine Female Athlete Leadership Conference at Bates College! This inspiring and action-packed day focused on helping female athletes and coaches grow as leaders both on and off the field.
These young women are already leaders on the field and in the classroom, and this conference will help them develop even stronger leadership skills they can bring back to our school and community.
