School Notes:
  • Wells High School is a public secondary school located in Wells, Maine. It has a population of approximately 500 students in grades 9 through 12, and approximately 50 faculty members. The school primarily serves students from Wells, as well as a small number of students from Ogunquit, which was part of the town of Wells until 1980 and has never had its own high school. Until 2006, Wells High School also served students from the town of Acton, which has also never had a high school of its own.
  • The school mascot is the Warrior and the title of the yearbook is Abenaki. Both names reflect the significance of Native Americans in the history of Wells. The school colors are red, white, and black.
  • Wells High School celebrated its 100th graduating class in 2003 — which was also the 350th anniversary of the town of Wells.
  • The building that currently houses Wells High School was constructed in 1977 at 200 Sanford Road (ME-109). The former high school building, built in 1937 and located at 1470 Post Road (US-1), became a junior high school in 1978. The 1977 building vaguely resembles the letter "W" when viewed from the air.
