George Stevens Academy

George Stevens Academy is a private school in Blue Hill, Maine.
The following towns in Hancock County pay GSA to educate their students at the high school level: Blue Hill, Brooklin, Brooksville, Castine, Penobscot, Sedgwick, and Surry. These towns do not operate public high schools but instead send their high school students to this school. The Bangor Daily News described the school as "semi-private", and as "the area high school".
private funds were used to construct all of the buildings. It is the oldest school in the county.

History

The Blue Hill Academy opened in 1803. The original George Stevens Academy entity incorporated in 1891, and began operations in 1898. The two schools' boards of trustees became one body. In 1943 the Maine Legislature passed a bill formally declaring them to be merged, and the institution initially used the name Blue Hill-George Stevens Academy. Segdwick began sending high school students to GSA in 1943. Brooksville began doing so in 1960.
In 2025 the Blue Hill town government proposed that it buy GSA property for $1,800,000 so it could use the land for town facilities.
