Our History
In first couple of decades of the district, it only served students from grades 9 through 12, with younger students in elementary superintendency union districts. Even after the district grew to encompass students starting in kindergarten, pre-highschool students had little exposure to students from the other towns in the district, other than through programs like sports camps, like the Nashoba Summer Baseball Camp, which was founded in 2002. In 2010, a summer theatre camp was started at the high school to help students from the three towns get to know each other. The district also includes education programs for preschoolers. The district also includes education programs for preschoolers.
In the early 2000s, the district faced some financial issues. In September, 2002, the district eliminated media specialists (ie. librarians) at all the schools in the district other than the high school. After the layoffs, the libraries at the schools were run by volunteers, including retired librarians and the former librarians. In October, the next month, the state put the finances of the district under the control of the state government due to a $3.4 million deficit.The district got a new superintendent, Michael Wood, to help the district financially recover.
