As the Class of 2021 prepares to graduate in June, the Portland Public Schools’ three high schools have released lists of their top-performing students academically. Read on for the names of students who made the Portland and Deering high schools’ Top 10 lists and Casco Bay High School’s list of students who will graduate Summa Cum Laude.
*Note: Both the Deering and Portland high schools' Top 10 lists are based on seven semesters, due to one semester of pass/fail at the start of the pandemic in the spring of 2020. The Casco Bay Summa Cum Laude list is based on grades up through the second trimester. That school had “met/not met” grades for the last spring trimester in 2020.
