Superintendent's Welcome


     Welcome to RSU 15/MSAD 15’s Web page!  MSAD 15 is a school district located in southern Maine with convenient access along the I-95 corridor to the cities of Portland, Lewiston and Auburn. The two communities of Gray and New Gloucester are growing towns with a combined population of 12,000 people.  Each of the towns is proud of their local historical heritage and the District’s five schools and adult education program.  More information about individual schools or programs can be accessed through this Web site.
     The education of all our students is a number one priority for MSAD 15. Achievement of our mission, “preparing all students to take the next step”, cannot be accomplished without the active participation of staff, students, and citizens of Gray and New Gloucester. Communication is the path toward involvement.
     The District has attempted to create a Web site that is a pleasant place to access information about our schools. MSAD 15 is proud of the work that we do to ensure student success as learners, workers and citizens. As you review our Web site, I hope you find the information you seek about our schools. If you have any suggestions or questions about MSAD 15, please contact me at bbeasley@msad15.org or call my office at (207) 657-3335.
     Thank you for taking the time to learn about our schools! I am proud to serve as a leader for the Gray-New Gloucester Patriots!

Bruce Beasley, Interim Superintendent

  • MSAD #15 Awarded $185,000
    I am pleased to announce that the Nellie Mae Foundation awarded MSAD #15 a one-year Proficiency-Based Pathway grant of $185,000 to support our District’s transition to a performance-based educational system where all students achieve to high levels! Click here to download the press release from the Nellie Mae Foundation. As you are aware, MSAD #15 has a five-year implementation plan for this transition, and we will continue to involve parents, students and staff in the phase-in.
    Over the past two years, the District has worked with all stakeholders in our community to identify a vision and mission for our District. We are redesigning our District into a performance-based system, so that the vision can become a reality. Through this work, we have identified core beliefs:
        • We agree that all of our children must graduate with the knowledge and skills to compete in the 21st Century.
        • We agree that each of our children has different strengths and must have a voice and choice in learning and the pathway to graduation.
        • We agree that our staff must provide student-centered classrooms where the teacher designs learning experiences that allow all students to meet high quality standards.
    Our District is viewed as a leader in the national initiative to improve education. The Nellie Mae Foundation wants to support MSAD #15’s work so that our successes can be shared with other districts. This funding will help with the training and summer work needed by staff to continue to implement the performance-based change in the classrooms. MSAD #15 is proud of our progress and excited about our future. Your child’s future depends on an excellent education, and together, we intend to provide it!
