History

The first high school in Scarborough was built in 1927 and was named after Elwood G. Bessey, a former principal, and the current high school was built in 1954.

In January 2013 principal Auriemma officially stepped down as Principal of Scarborough High School. “This is very hard. It is the best job I ever had, but life is not just about a job,” Auriemma said. “I’ll have a lot of jobs in my life, but only one family.” Entwistle noted as a result of Auriemma stepping down, assistant principals Susan Ketch and Ray Dunn, Athletic Director Mike LeGage and Monique Culbertson, the district's director of curriculum and instruction, will form a leadership team to take over day-to-day operations at the high school. Entwistle said Culbertson will lead that effort, while other district personnel will cover “her job responsibilities related to curriculum and instruction.” [4]
