The Wachusett Regional School District includes
twelve schools in the five
towns of Holden, Paxton, Princeton, Rutland, and Sterling. These schools include
elementary and middle schools in the Member Towns and a regional high school serving all
high school students.
In 1950, Wachusett became the first regional school district in the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts, a 9-12 district with the high school opening in 1954 on Main Street in
Holden, overlooking Mt. Wachusett. Elementary students were educated in their
respective towns.
In 1994, the five Member Towns voted to merge all the schools into a K-12 district.
Proud of their independence and individuality, the challenge was to retain the character
of each of the towns while combining their efforts to provide the highest quality of
education for the region’s students.
There is a deep commitment within the District and its parents to provide ALL students
with a quality education that is truly "World Class." With the advent of
Education Reform and K-12 regionalization, the District and our students have been the
beneficiaries of three blessings:
 |
The benefits of Educational Reform and
K-12 regionalization have provided a
new vision for
education and the resources to undertake the re-creation of our
public
school system. |
|
|
Wachusett students have benefited from
the broad support for improving public
education
shared by the parents of our students, the citizens of our District, and
state level leadership
at the Department of Education and Legislature.
|
|
|
Wachusett teachers have demonstrated an
extraordinary capacity to bring the
benefits of
Education
Reform and K-12 regionalization into the lives of the
children in
their classrooms.
The results of their efforts are amply demonstrated
in the exemplary gains in
student achievement,
and the
vitality of the District's
educational programs. |
