Foxborough High School (FHS) is a public high school in Foxborough, Massachusetts. Part of the Foxborough Public Schools district, it serves about 750 students in grades 9 to 12 at 120 South Street. In 2026, the student body was about 74 percent White, 10 percent Black, 8.5 percent Hispanic, and 4 percent Asian.[1][2]
Warriors are the school mascot. Native American iconography and the image of a Blackfoot chief were removed from the school's sports gear in 2023.[3][4]
History
[edit]Foxborough High School was preceded by the English and Classical School established by James L. Stone. It was in the Town House in 1858. Housed in a public building, it was required to admit some students who could not pay. It closed when a public high school was established. In 1928 a new high school building opened. In 1973 a new high school building opened and the old building became a middle school named for former FHS principal John J. Ahern.[5]
In 2009 a vote was held on millions of dollars of repairs for the school.[6] In 2013 the history department ran a congressional bill process simulation with student roleplaying legislators.[7] Later that year, the school made national headlines after a class ring was returned to its owner after 40 years.[8]
Extracurriculars
[edit]The school has a jazz band.[9]
Sports
[edit]Football coach Jack Martinelli led the team to almost 300 wins and four championships.[10][11] The school has a football rivalry with Mansfield High School.[12]
