Blackstone Valley
Blackstone Valley Regional Vocational Technical School serves the Blackstone River Valley region in south-central Massachusetts, drawing students from multiple towns including Upton, Mendon, Bellingham, and Millville. The area takes its name from the historic Blackstone River, which powered New England's early Industrial Revolution and made this corridor one of America's first manufacturing centers in the 19th century. Today the valley is a mix of suburban residential communities and light industrial areas, located roughly midway between Worcester and Providence, Rhode Island.
