[edit] History
Gorham High School received national media attention on January 4, 2008, when the administration was forced to cancel classes for a day after an apparent senior prank. School administrators arrived at the building to find snow and ice blocking the locks and doors outside of the school. Due to town fire codes, the building was closed until all of the exits could be thawed and cleared.[1]
