Mt. Blue High School prom | Year in Photos
The prom night excitement couldn’t be dampened by the cold and rainy weather on May 17, when Mt. Blue High School students lined up outside the doors of the Farmington school waiting to be let in. Once the doors opened, 321 students walked down a long hallway into the “Old Hollywood”-themed night. At a time where many schools pay to host their proms at off-site locations, Mt. Blue reversed course and began hosting it at the school again in 2019. The school leaned into the classic prom elements: a gym decorated with balloons, streamers covering the doors and students running down the hallway to the dance floor when they hear a song they love.

A year of protest | Year in Photos
2025 was a year of discontent for many throughout Maine. Numerous protests and rallies were held throughout the state over the course of the year, with many drawing very large crowds. Some were dubbed “No Kings” protests and were part of other national demonstrations opposing many of the policies of the Trump administration, citing the president’s abuse of power and attempts to erode democracy. Protesters’ concerns included the administration’s crackdown on immigration, federal worker layoffs by Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency, efforts to restrict press freedom and the rollback of environmental laws. At some of the protests, groups of counter protesters gathered to show support for President Donald Trump and his policies.
