School System Profile

We are a public school system in the southeastern corner of Massachusetts. We have seven school buildings of various sizes and ages.  The high school is the newest building (opened in 1990) as the technological marvel of the area.  But at this point the most "up-to-date" building especially in the area of technology is the Middle School thanks to major renovations that were just completed in 2005.

The system has won many awards and accolades on the local, state and national level.  Most recently we received national honors for our Community Service efforts and state recognition for exceeding our local MCAS expectations.
