Students in South Portland, Maine have joined up to establish the first high school chapter of Student World Assembly. Seeing the need for more international awareness, education and discussion amongst students in Maine, founder and chapter president Hannah Dunphy has enjoyed introducing SWA to the school. The group has received enthusiasm from students and overwhelming support from administration. The chapter hopes to contribute perspectives of high school students to discussion forums, and to expand the organization's reach of global representation.

The group had its first meeting on April 2005, and after electing officers, it has already joined with other student organizations like Amnesty International to plan upcoming events.

On April 6th, chapter co-sponsored a successful student/teacher discussion on security and civil liberties post 9/11,with focused debate of the USA PATRIOT Act.
