Gardiner High School, also known as Gardiner Area High School (GAHS), is a public school serving grades 912 in Gardiner, Maine in the United States. Tigers are the school mascot.[2] In 2016, the school had a graduating class of 136.[3]
The Old Gardiner High School building was designed by Francis H. Fassett and built in 1870.
Bobby Messenger, Major League Baseball player and sheriff of Sagadahoc County, was a mainstay on Gardiner's sports teams in the first decade of the 20th century.[4]
The Maine Ornithological Society met at the high school in 1907.
The school has a rivalry with Cony High School.
Alumni of the school include Stanford University professor David Nivison who was valedictorian at the high school in 1940 and Poet Edward Arlington Robinson who graduated from the school when ceremonies were held at the Gardiner Coliseum.[5] [6]
Also, the high school has been mentioned numerous times on the HGTV program Maine Cabin Masters, as several cast members attended the school. One program project involved the crew constructing an outdoor earth science building for the school.
