King Philip Regional High School serves the towns of Norfolk, Plainville, and Wrentham in southeastern Massachusetts, about 30 miles southwest of Boston. This tri-town regional district draws from communities that blend suburban residential character with remaining open spaces and working farms. The school takes its name from Metacomet (known to English settlers as King Philip), the Wampanoag sachem who led a significant conflict in 1675-1676 that shaped the region's colonial history.
