Maritime's high school is extremely small. The buildings have absestos and mold causing many of the students to get ill. They do not offer credible athletic programs nor does the high school prepare the students for success in college. To date, there is not one single college graduate who has attended and graduated from Maritime. Outside of newspaper and yearbook, there are no extracurricular activities available to the students.
