Morse Memorial School

27 School Street
207-722-3636

Morse Memorial School is situated in Brooks at a site formerly called the Ryder lot. The estate of Willis Morse left $61,000 for the construction of a new school and building materials began arriving in April 1931. The building was completed in December 1931. 

The original Brooks High School burned in 1947. At this time, a group of concerned citizens organized a movement to construct an auditorium on the site. The construction of this auditorium became a town project and was entirely funded with donated  monies, materials and labor. Work was completed in the spring of 1949 and dedicated to Bob Grant, an enlisted soldier of World War II. The building was named the Grant Memorial Gymnasium.
