As for being a Clear and Effective Communicator, when planning the Climb to Remember which was a JROTC project which aimed to coordinate hikes on all 14 of Maine’s peaks over 4000 feet. Being the battalion’s executive officer, it was my job to coordinate hiking groups and supplies to get to the summits. Coordinating with hiking groups required me to articulate ideas in an organized and logical manner (1.4) and to communicate questions, ideas, and conclusions with clarity and precision (1.2). When planning the logistics of operating such a hike, I had to work independently and/or collaboratively to obtain, evaluate, and communicate information (1.5) in order to effectively plan and execute the mission.



Creative and Practical Problem Solving has been an integral part of my senior project and without that valuable skill, my project would have been much harder if not impossible. Learning to persevere in solving problems (3.6) was vital when my original case design failed and had to be redone 4 times until a correct solution was created and printed. Observing and evaluating situations to define problems (3.1) played a big part in my project, when I was printing parts that print for upwards of 18 hours, I needed to be able to diagnose and repair problems before I wasted both time and money. The key skill of using information and technological resources to solve problems (3.4) was even more important as there were many problems that arose because I was very new with everything. When I was creating my case, and the designs were not lining up, I learned how to generate and evaluate a variety of solutions to determine the most effective response (3.5) in order to create the proper case design even with many ideas of how it can look.



Hello! My name is Nicholas Pease and as I write this, I am a senior in high school. Although, unless things end very badly, this is expected to change. You have found yourself on my senior portfolio, a collection of everything that is me and all that I have accomplished in my 4 years at Nokomis Regional High School. Creating this portfolio is a bit of a bittersweet moment for me, but alas, my journey to adulthood is complete.
When I am not in school, or doing schoolwork, I maintain employment at Aubuchon Hardware in Newport Maine, where I spend most of my weekends. Beyond that, I am heavily involved both in the JROTC program at school and the National Honor Society. In my few spare hours between all that, I program and develop in a variety of settings and applications.
Once again, welcome to my portfolio. Stay a while, grab a drink. You're about to meet me.
As you can see both above and to the right, this portfolio has some interesting header backgrounds. I selected random pictures from the Google Earth library of images.


In my four years I have cultivated and met the guiding principles that are core to the teachings at Nokomis. To start, since getting a job at Aubuchon Hardware, it has been my job to learn and apply many sources of information in order to better serve the customer, a valuable place where I learned how to be an Independent Learner. Applying accumulated knowledge in new contexts (2.1) is still a large part of my job, along with taking initiative to learn, unlearn, and relearn skills when I was taught something wrong or incomplete (2.3). Seeing as direct customer relationships are a large part of my job, valuable skills such as using interpersonal skills to learn and work with others quickly became a part of my job description. These combinations of skills have propelled me to be the best I can be and be successful in both my job and my life.




For any STEM field, especially the ones I am looking at, the ability to think integratively and informatively think is vital and should be treated as such. For my science fair project in Sophmore year I had to build content knowledge (5.1) in order to accurately provide background evidence for my project. My project was based around surveys sent out to multiple schools that collected a vast amount of data. Sorting through all this data showcased my ability to analyze and interpret data (5.2). Most of this data was not cut and dry either, it instead required me to reason abstractly and quantitatively (5.3) in order to come to a conclusion.

Ever important, being a Responsible and Involved Citizen, I demonstrated this guiding principle both in my work, in my spare time, and in doing school activities. When the opportunity arose, I took a job reporting out election results from the Pittsfield voting center to a nationwide service. Participating in this demonstrated my civic literacy skills (4.4). Another part of my job description at Aubuchon is running the register, demonstrating my economic literacy skills (4.3). When I was a junior, as a company commander in JROTC, I was tasked with conducting the annual giving tree. Conducting the Giving Tree allowed me to identify personal and community needs and wants (4.5) and work collaboratively with the school community (4.6).
