After earning a B.A. in broadcasting and a K-8 teaching degree, Heidi Nolan imagined a future as a radio announcer or elementary school teacher. Living in Alaska in the late 1980s, she found employment with the U.S. Army’s Basic Skills Education Program helping service members improve academic skills in reading and math—and so began the segue into the adult education teaching world. Returning, years later, to her native Maine roots, Heidi found great joy working with adults pursuing alternative ways to complete high school and transition to college. Fourteen years in this field solidified her belief in the power of adult education as a system and encouraged her to take a leap into the administration side of it. When not actively working and advocating for adult education, MCST Adult Education Director Heidi Nolan can be found pedaling her road bike or driving her convertible, enjoying the splendor of the Midcoast’s back roads.
Lee Bross joined the Mid-Cost School of Technology as the Adult Education Program Assistant in 2024. As a native Midcoast Mainer, she has deep ties to the area and loves the diversity of people who live here.
Having had a child who attended MCST in 3 of their programs, she also knows the amazing value of the technical education being offered within our community. She looks forward to helping people who wish to enhance their skills or interests.
