Noble High School is a public high school in North Berwick, Maine serving students in grades 8-12 from the towns of Berwick, North Berwick, and Lebanon. NOBLE is an acronym for the three towns that NHS serves (NOrth Berwick, Berwick, and LEbanon). Noble High School is a member of the Coalition of Essential Schools.
Noble High school was designed to promote small learning communities. NHS is organized so that the school is divided into two unique schools, or academies. Each academy has three teams, and each academy serves grades 8-12. Each academy is identical in structure and core classes offered.
To graduate from Noble High School, students are required to 24.5 credits in the following subject areas: Math (5); English (5); Science (4); Social Studies (3), Fine Arts (1); Physical Education (1); Health (1); and Other Electives (4.5). Students must also complete 60 hours of community service. At the end of each year, students must complete an end of year exhibition. Freshmen participate in the Round Table, Sophomores participate in the Gateway, Juniors participate in the Pathway, and Seniors complete a Senior Project. At Noble High School, a failing grade is 74% or lower.
Noble offers many classes to students. French, Spanish, Chinese and Latin are offered as world languages. 15 AP Classes are offered: AP Language and Composition, AP Literature and Composition, AP Calculus, AP Statistics, AP Biology, AP Physics, AP French, AP U.S. History, AP U.S. Government, AP Studio Art, AP Computer Science, AP Chemistry, AP Environmental Science, AP US History, and AP World History. Noble also participates in the Sanford Regional Technical Center, where 15 trades are offered.
From 1969-2001, Noble High School was located at what is presently Noble Middle School. For the 32 years that NHS was located at this site, the school served the three towns. This site was suitable for a period, but as populations increased within the towns, NHS became very overcrowded. The school was designed for about 550 students, but by 1995 there were over 900 students in the school. As well as overcrowding issues, the facility was very outdated, and did not accommodate the needs of the school. Due to the surrounding area, there was also a need for community facility to serve the rural towns in the district. Pam Fisher, former NHS principal was very involved in the process of creating a new school. A committee of community members was created to plan for the new school. The design of the school was highly influenced by the Principles of MSAD 60, and the Coalition of Essential Schools. The school opened in 2001.
