Reply to comment by SheSellsSeaShells967 in Maine has the lowest student/teacher ratio in the United States (11:1) by IrwinRSchyster1

Well they played each other in the 78-79 Tourney at the old Bangor Auditorium so obviously they cannot consolidate into a single school.

It comes down to town rivalries unfortunately. Howland and Lincoln each have their own schools. So does Lee. They could easily consolidate to just Lincoln.

God no, Lee Academy doesn’t need to consolidate to Lincoln. Can’t speak for Howland, but Lee has a lot of kids from the small towns that go to it. On top of its foreign student program.

My kids went to Lee. There is talk of consolidation. My son told me the other day that the foreign student program has just a handful of kids this year.

Once all the old alumni have died off, it’ll be easier. There’s a lot of guys out there that lived their glory days/peaked at skank.

Those rivalries run deep. Apparently there was talk a few years ago of Howland and Milo merging. Howland was not happy.
