Bonny Eagle High School is a public high school located in Standish, Maine, United States. The school is a part of Maine School Administrative District 6, which serves the towns of Buxton, Hollis, Limington, Frye Island, and Standish. Remodling was recently finished on the front of the school.
New portables are being built along the side of the school, and language department has moved all classes to these outside buildings this year.
Bonny Eagle's football program has achieved three state championships in the past four years, capturing the Class A Maine State Championships in 2004, 2005, and 2007. The team was undefeated in the 2007 season.
Bonny Eagle and the surrounding area is said to have achieved its unusual name when a Scotsman (as the area formerly had high concentration of Scottish people), standing on a bridge over the Saco River, looked up and saw an eagle. Supposedly, the Scotsman remarked "what a bonny eagle," bonny being a synonym for beautiful. Thus, the school's mascot is the Scots[citation needed].
Notable alumni include Jeff Neal, the drummer for the band Boston, and Kevin Eastman, the creater of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
