Marblehead High
Marblehead is an affluent coastal town about 17 miles northeast of Boston, known for its historic harbor, sailing culture, and well-preserved colonial architecture. Founded in 1629, it served as a major fishing port and is often called the "Birthplace of the American Navy" for its maritime contributions during the Revolutionary War. The town's scenic waterfront and strong sense of community make it one of the North Shore's most desirable residential areas.
