History

The town of West Bridgewater is currently in the process of building a new high school[4][5] to address the existing building’s many deficiencies, which caused the school’s accreditation to be placed on "warning status" in 2009 by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC). The new school was scheduled to open in September 2015, will be three stories tall, and will have a greater capacity than the existing facility.[6]

There is a "heritage committee" run by students who work to discover various means of preserving the history and the culture of the school.
