2010 - 2011 (New) Program of Studies The 21st Century Learning Community Grant, will support an after-school credit recovery program for High School students who are failing or in danger of failing core subject areas. As part of this after-school program students will be provided tutors to aide in homework and project completion to keep up with their current assignments. But they will also be provided with on line support using PLATO modules to recover units of study they have failed or to review and practice skills they may struggle with, in order to recover failing grades. Students will need to consistently attend this program for the remainder of the year in order to fulfill their credit obligations. The program will be provided four days a week, Monday through Thursday from 2:45 to 4:45.
The Perloff Family Foundation, in conjunction with the
Maine Community Foundation, has awarded a grant
to Caribou High School for the project titled "The Cold War and
Loring Air Force Base". Written and overseen by members of the English and
Social Studies departments at Caribou High School, this funding will allow
grade 11 students to better understand and appreciate the pivotal role Loring AFB played during these tense years. The grant will allow for a guest
speaker panel (featuring local citizens), a tour of the former base, and the
creation of a DVD to capture this local history. The Cold War, taught in
grade 11 Social Studies curriculum, will be reinforced in English classrooms
through research, documents, and discussions. For more information or those
with questions may contact
