This site is a personal project devoted to sharing the history of Gorham High School in Gorham, Maine. Founded in 1880, with its first graduating class in 1883, GHS has occupied three buildings, had 28 principals, and has changed countless times as education evolved.
I have given credit when I have used others' work, but if any is missing please contact me through the alumni Facebook page.
