Announcement of Sporting Event Results
Apologies for the delayed update. I would like to share the outcomes of yesterday's sporting events.
The girls’ soccer team traveled to Eastport. They put up a strong fight but ultimately fell short.
In contrast, the Calais High School boys’ soccer team hosted Searsport for a home game. Brayden Ellsmore opened the scoring, followed by goals from Brock Collins, Thiago Mendez, and Alex Counts. The final score was a solid 4-0 victory for the Calais Blue Devils.
The golf team competed against Narraguagus and Woodland, with Jacob Footer earning the title of medalist by scoring a remarkable 35.
Our volleyball team headed to Machias to face the Bulldogs. The JV Volleyball team secured a win, and the Varsity match was thrilling, with the Blue Devils rallying to win three consecutive sets, clinching the victory.
Congratulations to all teams! Go Big Blue
Not only has Maggie been accepted into her top-choice school, the University of Maine, but also into its highly competitive Nursing Program! 🩺
Even more impressive? Maggie didn’t even need to apply — she was offered Direct Admission thanks to her outstanding performance in the many UMaine Early College courses she has taken throughout high school. Her hard work has truly paid off!
To top it all off, Maggie was also awarded a $9,000 per year merit scholarship! 💰🎓
We are so proud of you, Maggie!

Briana made the most of this incredible opportunity. She stepped out of her comfort zone, explored new subjects (marine biology was her favorite!), visited colleges across New England, and attended college fairs — all while growing more confident and excited about her future. Briana shared these photos with us that she took during her time at Phillips.
