A true Mainer, Mr. Bourget attended Lewiston High School, where he took part in football, basketball, baseball and track. He also attended Aroostook State College, which later became University of Maine Presque Isle, and majored in Health Physical Education and Recreation. The sports he played and the coaches he had were great influences to him during that time, so it is no surprise that Mr. Bourget came to Bonny Eagle to coach. 

Mr. Bourget coached thirty-one years of Boys Soccer, compiling a career record of 301-128-45.  He has also coached five years of Girls Softball and a collective twenty years of Varsity Boys and Girls Basketball, collecting over 150 wins. Over the years, he has also filled in many positions as needed, coaching Golf one year when the coach fell ill, coaching tennis the next, serving fifteen weeks as Assistant Principal and another fifteen weeks as the Athletic Director here at Bonny Eagle High School.

Mr. Bourget has always been active in the Bonny Eagle community. He is one of the original members of the Bonny Eagle Athletic Booster's club and has helped to raise thousands of dollars to support athletic teams since the mid 70's. He is an original member and chairmen of the induction committee of the Bonny Eagle Athletic Hall of Fame which has been honoring Bonny Eagle coaches, players and contributors since 2000, and currently serves as chair of the Faith Littlefield /Flossie Smith Scholarship Committee, which has awarded about $40,000 worth of scholarships to students over the years.
