The Governor Baxter School for the Deaf, formerly known as the Maine School for the Deaf is a public co-educational, residential, school that serves the deaf and hard-of-hearing in the State of Maine. It is located on Mackworth Island, an approximately {{convert|100|acre|adj=on}} island in Falmouth, Maine, USA, adjacent to its border with Portland, Maine.

History

In 1943, Maine's governor Percival P. Baxter deeded the island and causeway, including his summer home, to the State of Maine. In 1957, the state created the Governor Baxter School for The Deaf (formerly known as the Maine School for The Deaf) on the island.[1] The school is infamous for a sexual abuse scandal which became public in 1981 and involved the school's principal and superintendent.

Since 2004, GBSD is now mainstream with Portland High School and, no knowing when Middle School and Elementary School is mainstream with locationed in Portland, ME.
