Presque Isle High School, Presque Isle, Maine The original Presque Isle High School was built in 1910 on the corner of what are now Blake and Third Streets. The building was constructed of brick and was intended to be indestructible, but it caught fire in 1921. It was rebuilt in 1922. Its capacity was 250 students, but eventually served about 500. In time, Presque Isle grew and needed a larger school. In 1949, the current Presque Isle High School was built. After this facility opened in 1950, the old school was repurposed as a middle school and was renamed Cunningham Middle School in honor of Franklin Cunningham, a former principal.
