Name and historyIt is named after Garrett (Bush) Schenck, who made a large donation to build the first Schenck High School building in 1927. Schenck, who was vice president of the International Paper mill at Rumford Falls, helped establish the first Katahdin-region paper mills in East Millinocket and Millinocket.[2] In 1957 the current campus was built, and it opened the following year.[1] The previous campus was renamed Opal Myrick Elementary School.[3] In 1966 an addition in the current Schenck building opened. In 2011 Opal Myrick Elementary School moved into the Schenck campus; the enrollment in the elementary school declined, so the district decided to close the standalone Myrick building.[1] In early 2014, it was suggested that the school be renamed after Gloria MacKenzie, an area woman who donated $1.8 million to fix a leaking roof at the school after winning the powerball lottery. Renaming the school would also avoid using the word 'Schenck', which is commonly pronounced as the derogatory term "skank".[2] The Mackenize family later indicated that they did not want the school renamed.[4] SportsIn Maine, high school sports are categorized by the number of enrolled students. In the mid-1980s, Schenck switched from Class B to Class C, a changed that ignited controversy. In 2005, Schenck High School was reassigned to Class D sports by the Maine Principals Association, which oversees school sports. In that year, Schenck's enrollment dropped below 230 students to 216.[5] Notable alumni
