Dracut Senior High
Dracut is a suburban town in northeastern Massachusetts, located along the Merrimack River about 30 miles north of Boston. Originally part of larger colonial land grants, the town separated from Methuen in 1701 and developed as a mill town during the Industrial Revolution, with several historic mill buildings still standing today. The community maintains a mix of residential neighborhoods and some remaining agricultural land, with the Merrimack River forming much of its northern border.
