Editing Loring Air Force Base (section)

====Education====
Younger students on the base attended Damon Elementary School or Harrison Elementary School. Kindergarten-age children would attend school in either morning or afternoon sessions, and the older students were given the standard fare of lunch offerings. School educators were rated highly in the state. Students in grades 7 through twelve attended the nearby [[Limestone High School]].<ref name="SquadronsandServices" />

To those who were no longer in secondary education, there were opportunities as well. The [[Northern Maine Vocational Technical Institute]] offered courses that would help students with introductory college-level classes. [[Husson College]] offered credits to those working to earn an associate's or baccalaureate degree in business. The nearby [[University of Maine at Presque Isle]] offered classes in the social and behavioral sciences, as well as humanities and liberal studies. [[Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University]] offered a bachelor's degree in professional aeronautics. Credits earned through these programs counted as "on campus" or "residential credit" to those who were enrolled in them. Additionally, day, evening, and night classes were offered in nearby [[Caribou, Maine|Caribou]] and [[Presque Isle, Maine|Presque Isle]].<ref name="SquadronsandServices" />

The base's Education Center also provided testing service for those interested in taking exams. It provided the [[CLEP]], [[DSST (standardized test)|DANTES]] Exams, [[SAT]], [[ACT (test)|ACT]], the [[LSAT]] and [[Graduate Record Examinations|GRE]] exams. The [[Community College of the Air Force]] also enrolled active duty personnel in its programs as well. Credits taken there could be transferred to other affiliated Air Force technical institutions, and personnel could qualify for commissioning programs.<ref name="SquadronsandServices" />
