Athletics
The school is a member of the Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association. It is classified as District E and a part of the Midland Wachusett League. The school mascot is the Blue Knight.
After allegations of racism against its football program in 2013, the school cancelled the rest of the season.[3][4] Teammates were initially suspected of spray painting racist slurs on a biracial player's house, but police later investigated the player's mother after she told authorities she lied.
