Martha's Vineyard is an island located off the southern coast of Massachusetts, accessible by ferry or plane, known for its picturesque beaches, historic whaling villages, and summer tourism. The island consists of six towns—Aquinnah, Chilmark, Edgartown, Oak Bluffs, Tisbury, and West Tisbury—that together form a close-knit year-round community of approximately 20,000 residents, which swells significantly during summer months. Martha's Vineyard Regional High School serves as the island's only public high school, bringing together students from across all six towns.
