History

The high school was built in 1961, originally only being one-story high. It has since had large renovations, including many more classrooms, a new auditorium, administrative offices, and a second gymnasium.[4]

Additionally, Nashoba Regional High School is a filming site of notable alumni Chris Fleming, used as the setting of “Northbread High School” in his online series, Gayle[5]

In 2019, a math teacher was charged with possessing child pornography, among other charges,[6][7][8][9] leading to the then-principal, Paul Di Domenico, first going on administrative leave in 2019[10] and then resigning in 2020 after the teacher plead guilty and was fired.[11]

Academics
  • NRHS is home to a Concord Area Special Education (CASE) program of vocational education for students with substantial special needs (ages 15–22).[12]
  • The school also offers the unique NRHS Cadet EMT Program, which trains high school students and allows them to serve as EMTs with the Bolton Ambulance Squad. Students involved in the program carry pagers in their classes, and are given the opportunity to gain real-world experience in Emergency Medical Services. It is one of only a handful of programs like it in the United States.[13][14][15]

Mascot

The NRHS mascot was formerly the Chieftain. On July 1, 2020, the Nashoba Regional School Committee voted unanimously to retire the mascot and remove any Native American iconography from NRHS.[2]
