Celebrate Upper Miramichi and Doaktown – Two Schools, One Spirit 2010 Reunion

Upper Miramichi Regional High School and Doaktown Consolidated High School will be handing out diplomas for the last time this June graduation season.  September will mark a new beginning for the students in these communities as they unite for the first time at the Central NB Academy.

To pay tribute to the closing schools and the students, teachers, and other key people who played an important part of growing up in these communities, a reunion weekend is planned for August 27-29.  This fun-filled weekend dubbed “Two Schools, One Spirit” features a number of activities including a meet and greet, Teacher’s Tea, and last tours of the closing schools.  The headline event The Last Dance will give former students an opportunity to relive the excitement of prom night.  A full schedule of events is located at www.uppermiramichi.ca.

Two Schools One Spirit 2010

Friday, August 27, 2010 at 9 a.m. to Sunday, August 29, 2010 at 6:00 p.m.

The Upper Miramichi Regional High School in Boiestown will be closing its doors at the end of June 2010. The Doaktown Primary School will also be shutting down in late fall/early winter. As of September 2010, Doaktown Consolidated High will be removing its Grades 6-12 students so they can join as one with those from UMRHS to form the new Central New Brunswick Academy.

A joint-committee of residents from the Rural Community of Upper Miramichi and from the Village of Doaktown is planning a gala reunion to honor our former schools and to celebrate a new beginning. The “Two Schools One Spirit” event scheduled for August 27 – August 29, 2010 will feature a Meet & Greet, tours of the schools (new and old), an ecumenical church service and songfest, “The Last Dance” prom, and much, much more.
