North Middlesex Regional
North Middlesex Regional is a school district serving the towns of Ashby, Pepperell, and Townsend in northern Massachusetts, roughly 40 miles northwest of Boston near the New Hampshire border. This rural area is characterized by historic mill towns, rolling farmland, and a strong sense of community, with all three towns dating back to the colonial era. The region offers a quieter, more pastoral alternative to the metro Boston suburbs while maintaining relatively easy access to both Boston and Worcester.
