Masconomet Regional High School serves the towns of Boxford, Middleton, and Topsfield, three neighboring communities located about 25 miles north of Boston along the North Shore. The region is characterized by its rural character, with extensive conservation land, working farms, and winding country roads that have preserved much of the area's colonial-era landscape. The school's name comes from Masconomet, the sagamore of the Agawam people who lived in this area in the 17th century.
