About Us
High School Feasibility Study Committee (HSFSC)
From June-November 2002, the High School Feasibility Study was conducted with architects Dore & Whittier. The study concluded that a $40-$50 million project would be required and recommended proceeding with a $2.5 million design project. In February 2003, shortly after the completion of the study, the Massachusetts School Building Authority (MSBA) announced a moratorium on funding for new school projects. A proposed vote to proceed with a design phase failed in April, 2003.
High School Study Committee (HSSC)
In June 2003, the HSSC was formed. The HSSC projected a WHS enrollment of 1,000 students by 2007, and confirmed a $30-$40 million project. A conceptual design project was proposed which was passed at Town Meeting in November, 2003.

School Facilities Study
From 1987-1988, the School Facilities Study was conducted to assess the demographics and physical state of WHS buildings. The report to the School Committee identified the need to renovate and update the buildings. The result of this study was a renovation project from 1990-1992 which included new roofs, carpeting, some new windows, new HVAC, some asbestos removal and reconfigured classrooms. This renovation was anticipated to last 10-15 years.
