The kickoff meeting of the Greater Cape School & Community Alliance was held on the morning of Wednesday, 10/29/25 at the Cape Elizabeth Fire Department. The event merged nearly thirty people from Cape Schools and the local business and nonprofit community with representation from fields such as finance, medicine, lobstering, entrepreneurship, farming, government, law enforcement, and land conservation.
The Alliance will meet three more times this school year, with the goal of aligning student learning with community and workforce needs. Participating organizations will provide feedback to develop school programming focused on skill development, local issues, and meaningful community partnership opportunities.
