We're taking time to celebrate retiring staff members who have made lasting impacts across our district. Congratulations to Deb Smith on her retirement after an amazing 42 years with Sanford schools!

She was named the inaugural Outstanding Staff Person in 2018!

This morning, Sanford High School Class of 2025 made their ceremonial walk through our schools in their caps and gowns!
The graduates visited Sanford Middle School, Sanford Pride Elementary, Carl J. Lamb Elementary, and Margaret Chase Smith Elementary before finishing their journey at Sanford High School.
What a heartwarming tradition! Seniors got to reconnect with former teachers who helped shape their journey, while current students lined the hallways cheering and celebrating the Class of 2025.
