HOULTON, Maine — Houlton High School graduates began their week of graduation festivities with a school bus ride to Houlton Elementary School and Southside, where many of the students began their education 14 years ago.
Students in both buildings lined the halls with letters and posters for the big kids dressed in their caps and gowns. They were so excited to see some of their friends that they had shared a bus ride with, now ready to leave the RSU29 school family.
