Gateway Regional School
Gateway Regional School District serves seven small hilltowns in the rural Pioneer Valley of western Massachusetts: Blandford, Chester, Huntington, Middlefield, Montgomery, Russell, and Worthington. This sparsely populated region in the foothills of the Berkshires is characterized by forested hills, winding country roads, and a strong sense of rural New England character. The district was formed to provide centralized secondary education for communities too small to maintain their own high schools.
