West Boylston Junior/Senior High

West Boylston

West Boylston is a small town in central Massachusetts, located about 10 miles north of Worcester along the Wachusett Reservoir. The town's history is closely tied to water supply infrastructure — the original village center was flooded in the early 1900s to create the reservoir that now serves Greater Boston. Today, West Boylston is a quiet residential community known for its scenic reservoir views and outdoor recreation opportunities.
