RSU 06 adult education celebrates graduates; announces CMA, pharmacy‑tech classes for fall
Summary
RSU 06/MSAD 06’s adult education commencement honored 21 graduates, announced that certified medical assistant students passed the national exam, and said new CMA and pharmacy technician classes will start in the fall.
RSU 06/MSAD 06’s adult education program celebrated its 2025 graduating class and announced new workforce-training offerings at its commencement ceremony.
“My name is Linda Winton. I've spoken to a lot of you on the phone, and I'm the director of the adult education program,” Linda Winton said as she opened the ceremony. She told attendees the program had 21 graduates this year and said the program will offer additional training opportunities in the coming months.
Winton announced that students enrolled in the certified clinical medical assistant (CMA) program had all passed the national certification exam. “I'm happy to announce that all of them have passed the national certification exam and hope to work with local health care providers,” she said. She also said the adult education office will offer another CMA session in the fall and, for the first time, a pharmacy technician program.
Tony Brewer, the student speaker, reflected on his own path and thanked program staff. “Years ago, nobody would have given me a live microphone,” Brewer said, later thanking “Miss Sherry” and “Miss Glenda,” the latter of whom he said was retiring.
Clay Gleason, superintendent of schools, told graduates: “The beautiful thing about learning is nobody can take it away from you.” Gleason praised the graduates' persistence and encouraged them to continue learning.
Organizers also recognized instructors and support staff by name and noted community contributions: Plumbers Market in Buxton provided refreshments and Hannaford in Standish donated the ceremony cake. Program staff said photos and further information would be sent by email and encouraged interested residents to contact the adult education office for fall-course signups.
No formal board action or policy decision was taken during the ceremony; the announcements were program updates and celebration of graduates.
The program credited instructors and staff for the graduates' success and noted that some students who completed the CMA program hope to work with local health care employers. Exact employment commitments or employer names were not specified at the ceremony.
