Now in her fourth year at Hebron Academy, Ms. McKee brings an infectious energy and deep love of literature to every classroom she steps into. This year, she teaches 9th Grade Literature of Maine, 10th Grade Honors World Literature, and Postgraduate English, a lineup she approaches with a balance of curiosity and creativity. After several years teaching sixth and seventh grade, she’s delighted to be working with Hebron’s postgraduate students, whom she describes as “a joy to teach and a constant reminder that learning never really ends.”

When you walk into one of Dr. Oakes’s classes, you immediately know that you’re in a space where words matter. For the past eleven years, she’s been sharing her love of literature with Hebron students. Teaching everything from AP Literature and Honors Comparative Literature to Honors World Literature and even 8th grade English. As the chair of the English Department, she leads with the same curiosity and care that she brings to her classroom.

Hebron Academy proudly celebrates Megan Vaughan ‘05, the 2025 recipient of the Red Gendron Memorial Scholarship, whose remarkable dedication to the sport of hockey and to the growth of young athletes has inspired players, families, and fellow coaches across Maine.

Imagine leaving almost everything you have known behind to attend a boarding school you barely know anything about. In all honesty, this is a situation that many Hebron Academy students have been through. The boarding experience was a big change for me, even though I had the comfort of my home just a short drive away. While the switch to living away from home was unsettling at first, it has ended up being a great experience that has impacted my life significantly, taught me a multitude of lessons, and has led to countless memories made throughout the year.
