It is now used regularly for town meetings, voting, community gatherings and private functions. The building boasts a full kitchen and over 1,200 square feet of meeting space in the main room.

OUR TOWN & RESOURCES >> EDUCATION Education Historically, Sorrento was home to two schools, High Head School and the Cove School. High Head was located near the reservoir, on the road to Treasure Island and Cove School was close to the Sullivan town line. Without the luxury of school busing, children would walk to the school nearest their home. By 1935 both of these were gone. A new “High Head” school was built on the location of our current Community Building, but in January 1941 was destroyed by fire. The building that replaced it was called the Sorrento Grammar School and today it is now used as our beloved Community Building. Today, no schools are within the Town of Sorrento’s borders. Our students are part of Regional School Unit #24 (RSU 24). Mountain View School is our Grammar School (serving grades pre-k through five) and the brand new (as of 2023) Charles M. Sumner Learning Campus is our Middle School and High School (serving grades six through twelve). They are both located in the Town of Sullivan. The other communities that are part of RSU 24 are Eastbrook, Franklin, Gouldsboro, Mariaville, Steuben, Sullivan, Waltham, and Winter Harbor.
