Nipmuc Regional High

Mendon-Upton

Nipmuc Regional High School serves the towns of Mendon and Upton, two small suburban communities located about 35 miles southwest of Boston in Worcester County. The region, named after the Nipmuc Native American people who historically inhabited the area, retains a rural character with historic town centers, conservation land, and working farms. Both towns developed as agricultural communities in the colonial era and have grown modestly while preserving their New England village character.
