History

The town of West Bridgewater completed the construction of a new high school in 2015[9][10] 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 opened in September 2015, and is two stories tall, and has a greater capacity than the previous facility.[11]

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