Ogunquit Village School was a school in Ogunquit, Maine. It closed in 2004 after the WOCSD decided that it would cost too much to keep open. Safety concerns also contributed to the decision to close the school; shortly after closing, the building was condemned by the Maine state fire marshall.
Famous quotes containing the words village and/or school:
“I am ashamed to see what a shallow village tale our so-called History is. How many times must we say Rome, and Paris, and Constantinople! What does Rome know of rat and lizard? What are Olympiads and Consulates to these neighboring systems of being? Nay, what food or experience or succor have they for the Esquimaux seal-hunter, or the Kanaka in his canoe, for the fisherman, the stevedore, the porter?”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“The scope of modern government in what it can and ought to accomplish for its people has been widened far beyond the principles laid down by the old “laissez faire” school of political rights, and the widening has met popular approval.”
—William Howard Taft (1857–1930)
