Dennis-Yarmouth Regional High

Dennis-Yarmouth

Dennis-Yarmouth is a regional school district serving the adjacent mid-Cape Cod towns of Dennis and Yarmouth. These neighboring communities, located along both the bay and sound sides of Cape Cod, are popular summer destinations known for their beaches, cranberry bogs, and the historic Bass River that forms part of their boundary. The area transitions from busy tourism hubs in summer to quieter year-round residential communities during the off-season.
