Triton Regional School District serves the towns of Newbury, Rowley, and Salisbury on Massachusetts' North Shore, roughly 40 miles north of Boston near the New Hampshire border. Newbury is among the more affluent communities in the state by per capita income and single-family assessed value, while Rowley and Salisbury are more mixed in character, with Salisbury's coastal location giving it a distinct shoreline identity. Newbury is home to the Parker River National Wildlife Refuge, a large coastal conservation area on Plum Island that draws visitors from across the region. Together the three towns form a rural-to-coastal suburban community, with Triton Regional High School serving students from all three.
