Ashburnham-Westminster Regional School District serves the towns of Ashburnham and Westminster in north-central Massachusetts, roughly 50 miles northwest of Boston and about 20 miles north of Worcester. Both towns are largely rural and residential, with rolling terrain, farmland, and conservation land, and the district's high school, Oakmont Regional High School, is located in Ashburnham. Westminster, whose single-family homes carry higher average assessed values than those in Ashburnham, is among the more established communities in the region, and both towns were settled in the 18th century and retain much of their colonial-era character. Their rural setting and proximity to the Wachusett Reservoir area make the district a place where open space and small-town life remain central to the community.
