Homecoming 2026
This is the first Homecoming since 2018 at Yarmouth High School, and it is being developed and led by our students. Homecoming is a time to celebrate school traditions, join with those who have come before us, support our teams, and finish the week with a student dance that brings all grades together.
We hope our students will get involved and make new connections. We also encourage families to talk with their students about looking out for one another and making healthy choices as they enjoy the week’s events. These conversations are an important part of what we do together as a school community to keep students safe.
Please check the schedule and join us for the excitement.

February is recognized by the National Association for Pupil Transportation (NAPT) as "Love the Bus Month," and this week we are celebrating Bus Driver Appreciation Week.
The Yarmouth Schools are fortunate to have a full complement of caring, expert bus drivers, who are supported by an outstanding leadership team and a dedicated maintenance staff provided by the Town of Yarmouth. Our drivers focus on safety while developing caring relationships with students and parents throughout the district, and our bus fleet routinely receives the highest ratings in Maine from State Police inspectors.
Arriving at work to inspect their buses well before the sun comes up and temperatures creep above zero degrees, oftentimes driving well into the evening and on weekends, Yarmouth's transportation team is unquestionably dedicated to getting students where they need to go - and back home again - safely and comfortably.
Please take the opportunity to say a special "thank you" to your drivers this week. Your appreciation is their greatest motivation!
