Region 9 students selected for Alaska learning expedition
Join us in congratulating Carter Fuller and Kiley LaFollette of Dirigo High School, and Michaela Mowery of Telstar High School, on being selected for a 10-day educational trip to Alaska’s Bristol Bay this summer.
Out of applicants across the country, they were chosen for this experience through the Bald Mountain Meadow Learning Expedition.
These students will explore remote wilderness areas, observe wildlife, and build skills that support their goals in conservation and outdoor careers.
Their work in the Outdoor Skills and Leadership Program, led by instructor Jeffrey Rainey, helped prepare them for this opportunity.
We are proud to see students from across our region recognized on a national level and look forward to what they bring back to their communities.

Learning in the shop. Growing in the field.
Isaac Ricci is a student in Region 9’s Heavy Equipment Program, gaining real experience as a Diesel Technician with Casella in Mechanic Falls.
He’s not waiting until graduation to start his path. He’s already doing the work.
Through work study and apprenticeship opportunities, students can gain hands-on experience in the field. They apply what they learn in class to real equipment, real jobs, and real expectations.
This is how skills turn into opportunity.
What could your path look like?
