North Attleborough High School is a public high school in North Attleborough, Massachusetts, United States, educating grades 9 through 12 with over one thousand students enrolled.[3]
History
[edit]North Attleborough High School was located in the current Community School building until the fall of 1973 when it moved into its current location on Wilson W. Whitty Way. On 3 June 2025, a vote was conducted on whether or not to build a new high school, which ultimately led to voters approving the project.[4] The new building will serve up to 1,025 students and be larger than the current high school building.
Athletics
[edit]The sports teams are known as the North Attleborough Rocketeers, formally the Red Rocketeers. The school has a long-standing rivalry with neighboring Attleboro High School, with both schools' football teams playing against each other on Thanksgiving Day for the past 104 years.[5] Both schools play in the Hockomock League. The '24-25 Rocketeers football team finished 11-2, good enough for 9th in the State. Andrew Hanwell (Class of 2015), Emily Marshall (Class of 2018) and Celine Ibrahim (Class of 2019) are notable for their record-breaking times in the 400 and 800 meter dash respectively, records that still stand today. The school's slogan "Go Big Red!" is often used at sporting events.[6]
