The Monomoy Regional School District serves the towns of Chatham and Harwich on Cape Cod, in Barnstable County. Chatham, at the Cape's elbow, is known for its harbor, beaches, and village center, and it ranks among the more affluent communities on the Cape, with a high single-family assessed value and per capita income. Harwich, to the northwest, is a mix of residential neighborhoods, cranberry bogs, and coastal areas along Nantucket Sound. Monomoy Regional High School serves students from both towns, and Chatham's Monomoy Islands and Harwich's Wychmere Harbor are among the local landmarks shaped by the Cape's maritime history.
