“Over the years RSU 1 and the MMM have formed a very strong, ​collaborative bond and vision to connect students with local, hands-on, and relevant maritime learning experiences that directly connect to the instruction taking place in RSU 1 classrooms.  These shared lessons allow for growth in the pride students feel for the place in which they are growing up and a growth in their understanding of the importance local maritime culture, economics, and history plays in this place and its continued development.”
