Please join us in welcoming Travis Casey back to Southern Aroostook Community School as a new Bus Driver and Custodian in our Transportation and Buildings & Grounds departments!
As a proud SACS alumnus and parent of current SACS students, Travis is no stranger to our school community. He has previously coached JV basketball here, and his strong work ethic was already on full display this summer as he helped get our school prepped, cleaned, and looking fantastic for opening day.
Travis brings a fun personality and a great sense of humor that makes him a fantastic fit for our school culture. We are thrilled to have Travis back on campus serving our students on the bus routes and keeping our facilities in top shape. Welcome back Travis!

Please help us to wish a Happy 50th Birthday to Southern Aroostook Middle/High School Counselor Jessica Greene!!
Please join us in welcoming Todd Willard to Southern Aroostook Community School as our new Middle/High School Physical Education & Health Teacher and Athletic Director! Todd grew up nearby in Houlton, Maine, and earned his degree from the University of Maine at Presque Isle.
Education runs deep in Todd's roots. Inspired by his mother, who was a teacher, as well as his own middle school PE teacher, Judy Oliver, Todd was drawn to a career helping young people develop healthy, active lifestyles and athletic skills. This school year, Todd is especially excited to join SACS because he gets to come to work every day alongside his wife and two of his children!
In his downtime, Todd loves hunting, fishing, and spending time with family at East Grand Lake. His favorite movie is A River Runs Through It (fitting for a lifelong fan of the outdoors!). An interesting fact about Todd is that he used to be a Zamboni driver!
We are thrilled to have Todd leading our physical education, health, and athletic programs. Please give him a warm SACS welcome when you see him in the gym or out on the fields!

Please join us in welcoming Alison Britton to Southern Aroostook Community School as our new Elementary School Math & Literacy Interventionist!
Alison grew up in nearby Houlton, Maine. She brings a rich educational and leadership background to SACS, holding dual Bachelor’s degrees in Early Childhood Education and Psychology from the University of Maine at Farmington, as well as a Master’s in Early Care and Education Leadership and Policy from Wheelock College. She has also completed leadership coursework through UMF, the Educate Maine Educational Leaders Experience, and the Maine Principals' Association's Aspiring Leaders program.
Alison’s passion for education runs deep. Growing up in a family child-care home, she learned early on from her mother the value of balancing warmth and support with clear, consistent boundaries. Her pathway into teaching was solidified in high school while taking the Early Childhood Education program at Region Two School of Applied Technology under instructor Susan Bergeron.
Having admired SACS's strong "community of care" and vibrant school events from afar, Alison is thrilled to step into her role and work directly with our elementary students, families, and staff to build confidence in math and reading!
Alison’s favorite song is "Wildflowers" by Tom Petty. Alison saw Tom Petty in concert with her dad, who inspired her eclectic music taste, making it an easy choice for the father-daughter dance at her wedding! She loves attending music festivals and shows, even squeezing in six concerts at the Bangor Waterfront in a single month this past July.
We are so fortunate to have Alison’s leadership, energy, and expertise at SACS. Welcome Alison!
