Noble High School is a public high school in North Berwick, Maine serving students in grades 9-12 from the towns of North Berwick, Berwick, Lebanon and Acton.
Class partitioning
Noble High School's staff and students typically belong to one of three "academies," as the school was designed to hold smaller learning communities in separate wings within the school.
Each of the three academies has approximately 365 students in grades 9–12 (about 1100 total). Each academy is then divided into four "teams" by grade. There is a Freshman Team, a Sophomore Team, a Junior House, and a Senior House. Students stay in the same academy for all four years of high school. For example, as a Freshman entering Noble on Academy 1, you would be placed on the White Team. As a Sophomore, you would move to Team 1 with the same group of students. Then you would become a House 1 Junior the next year and a House 1 Senior the following year. The method is followed in all three academies, although each team has a different name. This system is in place in order for students to develop a stronger bond with a smaller group of students and a defined group of teachers. Because your academy is determined from the time you enter high school, your team is also predetermined. As a White Team Freshman, you would be able to look at the names of the House 1 Senior teachers and see who your teachers would be your last year. This increases the opportunities for students to establish mentors and adjust to the learning styles of their classmates, both part of the administration's mission. Security is very important at NHS with a former Marine as a SRO officer, and a full time police officer. In addition, during lunch sessions and in the morning, teachers are patrolling and perched in different locations.
Athletics & activities
All three academies contribute to the same set of sports teams and activities. In the fall, Noble offers Football, Boys' and Girls' Soccer, Cheerleading, Cross Country, Field Hockey, and Golf. In the winter, both Boys' and Girls' Basketball, Wrestling, Cheerleading, Gymnastics, Indoor Track, and Ice Hockey are available. Baseball, Softball, Boys' and Girls' Lacrosse, and Track & Field are played in the spring.
The Noble teams are mercilessly supported by Noble's Superfans, a recently created organization dedicated to the promotion of school spirit by cheering at athletic events in matching t-shirts. Other activities include Student Council, National Honor Society, Yearbook, Literary Arts Magazine, Writing Center, Project SEARCH, Drama Club, Ski Club, Math Team, uKnight (community service), YAADA, Noble Student Health Advisory Board, and Noble Earthworks. The Civil Rights and Social Justice Team was also founded by a student in 2011.
The Noble Football team has had many standouts in its years. Noteable All Conference players include Randy Ouellette (1997) Jon Hall (1997) Brandon Spencer (2006) Josh Gagnon ( 2007 ) Mike Brown (2007) Kirby Phillips(2007) Wade Mondoux (2007) Chris Allen (2009) Tyler Lessard (2010) and Micah Lewis (2011)
