The new Fryeburg Academy Fieldhouse was completed and opened in June 2007. Gratitude and appreciation goes to every person, everywhere, who helped us bring this building to reality in less than two years time - the contractors, the workers, the students, trustees, alumni, faculty, staff, families, the community and very generous donors. The school couldn't have done it without each one of them. It's been a spectacular lesson in leadership, vision and teamwork for the students.

They have now begun work on the new Performing Arts Center and hope to open it in October 2008. It will also be on Bradley Street, between the Music Building (the old girls gym) and the new fieldhouse. The official groundbreaking took place on Saturday, August 18, 2007 when Academy alum, Diane Eastman Powell '53 and her husband, Monte Powell, of Washington state, made a very generous gift towards the building which will be named after Diane's mother, also an Academy alum and devotee of the arts - The Leura Hill Eastman '27 Performing Arts Center at Fryeburg Academy.
