Gorham Academy was a preparatory school for boys and girls in Gorham, Maine. ==Origins== In 1802, Hon. Stephen Longfellow presented a petition in favor of an academy in Gorham to the Massachusetts State Legislature. Governor Caleb Strong approved an act incorporating the Academy on March 5, 1803. The academy was to be for education of both sexes. The first meeting of the Board of Trustees was on June 1 of the same year, and on the 23rd of June, the legislature granted a half-township of land to the academy.〔A History of the Town of Gorham, Maine, by Josiah Pierce. p86.
