Culture, Climate & Community

A positive school culture is the foundation of safety and success. Orono Schools fosters a connected, caring community where students and staff feel valued, supported, and inspired to grow. Through shared values, strong relationships, and meaningful engagement—from Character Champions to student leadership and mentoring—we cultivate belonging and pride across our schools.
