After finishing The Crucible, Mrs. DeTour’s American Literature class participated in a culminating activity called tableau vivant, meaning “living picture.” Students worked collaboratively to recreate key moments from the play—carefully selecting each person’s position, posture, and expression to capture character, emotion, and relationship. In these silent, frozen scenes, their performances brought the story’s most intense moments of tension and emotional conflict vividly to life.
Please join Katahdin students in celebrating our Veterans on Nov 10th at 9:00am for breakfast.

14 Katahdin High School students attended a program called Access to Justice in Bangor on Wednesday. This event was sponsored by the Maine School of Law and The Maine Bar Association. Our students participated in a Mock Trial with Maine Supreme Court Justice Anderew Mead presiding, where they got to adjudicate the outcome of the trial.
