Dear RSU 57 Community, I am pleased to introduce Mr. Jeremie Sirois as our new Principal of the Line Elementary School. Mr. Sirois joins us with a wealth of experience and a strong commitment to student-centered educational practices. Mr. Sirois most recently served as the Principal of Kennebunk High School, where he collaborated with teachers to create a respectful and welcoming school environment, mentored and coached teachers on effective teaching methods, and built strong communication lines with students, parents and guardians. Prior to his tenure at Kennebunk High School, Mr. Sirois held the position of Principal at Biddeford High School, where he coordinated a wide range of school improvement efforts and set policies and practices ensuring student safety and security. With 19 years of experience in educational leadership, Mr. Sirois brings a deep understanding of school administration, curriculum implementation, and student-centered leadership. Mr. Sirois’ educational journey includes earning a Bachelor’s Degree in Elementary Education from the University of New England, a Master’s Degree in Educational Leadership from the University of Phoenix, and a Certificate of Advanced Graduate Study in Educational Leadership from St. Joseph’s College of Maine. His academic achievements reflect his dedication to continuous learning and professional growth. Mr. Sirois’ candidacy went through a rigorous screening process that included six district administrators, who unanimously moved him forward from a pool of candidates to the interview round. He emerged as the consensus top choice of an interview committee of ten, which was comprised of Line School staff members, district administrators, school board members, and parents. The final stage of the process included reference checks and an interview with Dr. Marquis, confirming Mr. Sirois as the ideal candidate for this role. As the new Principal of Line Elementary School, Mr. Sirois will play a pivotal role in support of the district's future initiatives. He will engage respectfully and openly with stakeholders to ensure our district mission of preparing students for success in an ever-changing world remains at the heart of the educational experience for the students of Line Elementary School. His extensive experience, inspiring vision, and unwavering commitment to always doing what is best for students make him an outstanding addition to our district. Please join me in welcoming Mr. Jeremie Sirois to RSU 57. We look forward to his experience and expertise providing invaluable leadership in support of the staff and students of Line Elementary School for years to come. Warm regards, Dr. Stephen Marquis
