Academic Excellence in the Jesuit Tradition 267 Ocean Avenue, Portland, ME 04103 | www.cheverus.org PRESS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Jody Lamscha Advancement and Communications Coordinator Cheverus High School 267 Ocean Avenue, Portland, Maine 04103 (207) 774-6238 ext. 25 Date: January 7, 2103 (Portland, ME) Cheverus Students Participate in Social Justice Retreat Cheverus High School held two Social Justice Retreats on December 13 and 20, 2012. Seniors from the school began the retreat with volunteer service at the Riverton School/Community Center and concluded at the Preble Street Soup Kitchen. The Cheverus seniors who participated were: Alex Casey of Portland Mariel Dalvet of Portland Spencer Desrochers of Biddeford Nick Donatelli of Portland Guthrie Dyer of Portland Erin Fitzpatrick of Yarmouth Brad Kritzer of South Portland Connor Maines of Windham Greyson Potter of Saco Brian Reardon of Portland Forrest Smith of Kennebunk Emily Zhao of Portland Cheverus’ Jesuit scholastic Brett McLaughlin describes the retreat as building upon the topic of social justice studied in the school’s Theology IV classes, “and this day gives them a sense of deep connection to the needs, vulnerabilities, and joys of helping those around us in the community. We reflect upon the experience of how God is present in the people whom we encounter.” Cheverus is well known in the community for its large and active group of volunteer students. This type of retreat highlights one of its core educational missions, to teach the five interrelated moral principles that are at the heart of a Jesuit education. With these principles, known as “The Cheverus Grad at Grad,” Cheverus provides a curriculum and culture where students are exposed to educational and social opportunities designed to cultivate and expand upon five qualities encompassed in The Profile of the Graduate of a Jesuit High School at Graduation.” A graduate of a Jesuit high school is to be: Open to Growth, Intellectually Competent, Religious, Loving, and Committed to Doing Justice. Cheverus High School is a private co-educational college preparatory school in Portland, Maine, conducted by the Society of Jesus, also known as the Jesuits. Built in 1917 as a diocesan school, Cheverus welcomed the service of the Jesuits in 1942. Beginning with the 2000-2001 school year Cheverus became a co-educational institution. The mission of Cheverus High School, an inclusive Jesuit Catholic college preparatory school, is to prepare young men and women to be people for others by fostering intellectual, spiritual, physical and personal excellence. Cheverus currently enrolls over 500 students in grades 9-12. .

MAINE STATE LEGISLATURE The following document is provided by the LAW AND LEGISLATIVE DIGITAL LIBRARY at the Maine State Law and Legislative Reference Library http://legislature.maine.gov/lawlib Reproduced from scanned originals with text recognition applied (searchable text may contain some errors and/or omissions) PROGRAM SUMMARY FOR: L.D. 2044, P.L. Chapter 758, An Act to Promote Access to Public Higher Education Assembled by: Harry W. Osgood Higher Education Specialist Maine Department of Education - 1 - Overview Chapter 758, An Act to Promote Access to Public Higher Education made it possible for high school students to enroll in college courses offered through Maine's public higher education institutions. Implementation began with the fall 1998 semester and students enrolled in record numbers. In support of this initiative, the legislature appropriated $75,000 to the Department of Education to cover half the tuition of enrolled students for the academic year 1998-99. Response to this initiative was so overwhelming that the entire appropriation for the academic year was committed during the fall semester. For this reason no resources were available to the Department to continue its support of students who had planned to enroll under this program for the spring 1999 semester. While the lack of funds for the second semester is unfortunate, it is clear that the program has been highly successful and that many students have benefited. Outcome During the fall 1998 semester 435 students enrolled in public higher education course offerings. These students came from 57 high schools located in 11 of the state's 16 counties.
