More than 500 schools across New England have adopted the Melanoma Foundation’s SkinCheck program, including, locally, Saco Middle School; Bonny Eagle Middle School; Cape Elizabeth High School; Gorham High School; Gorham Middle School; Greely Middle School; Mahoney Middle School in South Portland; Scarborough Middle School; Scarborough High School; Thornton Academy; Westbrook High School; and Windham High School.

The foundation provides a video training to high school and middle school health educators at no cost. The training educates teachers about melanoma and provides them with a lesson plan and materials for teaching their students about it in a single class session.
