Morse High School in Bath, Maine, brings in students from the communities of Bath, Phippsburg, Woolwich, Georgetown, and Arrowsic, Maine. The original school building, a gift to the city from Charles W. Morse, burned down March 24, 1928 and was later rebuilt in 1929. A large addition was made in 1969, and an expanded vocational center was added in 1996. The student/adult ratio at Morse is 8:1 (as of October, 2015). Morse's mascot is the Shipbuilder, a tribute to the Bath area's long shipbuilding tradition which is continued through the largest job opportunity in the area at Bath Iron Works, and extends all the way to 1607 on Popham Beach in Phippsburg, Maine. (Bath Iron Works (BIW) ), has also made a lasting impact on the surrounding community, which is translated through the middle school and high school mascots. The school colors are blue and white. Morse High School publishes a yearbook every year, formally called the Clipper or more commonly known as the Morse Yearbook. ==Athletics== Morse students participate in many athletic and social clubs. The students take pride in the school's proud tradition of championships, including six state championships in boy's basketball (1956, '62, '63, '87, '88, and '89), two state championships in baseball (1953 and '88), five state championships in football (1968, '69, '70, '71, and '72), and one state championship in Boys' soccer in 1988. Morse's boy's swim team won the state championship in the 2005–2006 swim season. The girl's swim team has also enjoyed recent success, winning the 2009-2010 state championship after finishing runners-up or third for several years.

In 2006, Morse finished 3–5 and gained the 8th and final seed in the playoffs before suffering a 63–12 loss to unbeaten Gardiner in the quarter-finals. Morse was the surprise team of the 2007 season, when it defeated previously unbeaten Gardiner in week 7 and finished the season 7–1 as the second seed. Morse went on to its first post season victory since its '72 state championship season by beating Oak Hill High School of Wales, Maine, 35–6 in the quarter-finals.

In the second half, Winslow held Morse scoreless and was able to win the game 28–22.
