Thornton Academy’s new field house is great for the school, not so great for the haters

Saco High School will open the Miles Field House this weekend, welcoming the community into a new facility on the school’s campus in Saco. The building will be open to the public starting Saturday and remain accessible through Sunday, providing a two-day window for tours, student demonstrations, and open-house activities. Students have been instrumental in preparing the space, and many voiced enthusiasm about the new venue’s potential to host school events and gatherings. The Miles Field House will host events for students and the community, ranging from athletics and performances to meetings and other activities. Weekend programming includes a Saturday student showcase and a Sunday reception open to all ages. The opening marks a significant addition to the campus. Admission is free, and the weekend’s events are intended to highlight the Field House’s role as a shared hub for education and extracurricular life.
