Community Perspectives: Why This Project Matters

“The proposed building represents our vision for the future. These changes would create a space where students can thrive, with facilities designed to foster creativity, collaboration, and lifelong learning.”

Clark-Wilkins Parent & Alumna

“As a parent, I support the effort to build a new, future-focused school. It’s an investment in both our kids’ education and the community’s future.”

v

Michael Berry, SAU 39 Superintendent

I am hopeful that we can move forward with a building that meets the evolving needs of our students and community. I encourage everyone to stay informed about the project, ask questions, and engage in the conversation.”

“I am immensely proud of the education I received in Amherst; enough so that my husband and I bought our home here in 2014 to provide the same opportunities for our three children. While I love that my children are part of the Clark-Wilkins community like I was, the schools have remained virtually unchanged for 40 years and are in urgent need of updating to meet modern safety standards and provide necessary resources.”
