History

Nauset is named after the Nauset people, a Native American tribe that lived on Cape Cod. Nauset High school serves students from the communities of Brewster, Orleans, Eastham, Wellfleet, Truro, and Provincetown. Nauset also offers an open enrollment program for students located in the towns of Dennis, Harwich and Chatham. Nauset's mascot is the Warrior and the schools colors are Black and Gold.

In 2010, the Provincetown School Board elected to shut down Provincetown High School, [5] by the end of the 2012–13 academic school year due to falling enrollment and lack of funds.[ citation needed ] By 2012 the 9th and 10th grade students at Provincetown were already moved to Nauset Regional. [6]

In 2012 the school began starting classes at a later time. [7]

In 2013 the school had 1,024 students, which was its highest level in the era. By 2020 it was down to 877. There was a decline of births in the area, and a new Cape Cod Regional Technical High School was attracting students away from Nauset Regional. [8]

Athletics

The Nauset School Committee voted to get rid of the Native American logo representing the "Warrior" but will keep the name "Warrior" as the official mascot. [9] The original mascot depicted a Native American man viewed from the side with Black & Gold war paint on his face, and a feather head-dress on his head, very similar to the Washington Redskins Native American logo. The logo for the school is now a block "N" with one half of the "N" painted black, and the other half painted gold.

The 2016 boys' soccer team finished the season ranked ninth in the nation by USA Today on its final Super 25 Expert Rankings. [10]

The 2018 boys’ soccer team finished the season ranked third in the nation [11] and won the MIAA DII State Championship. [12]

Academics

Nauset Regional High School has several educational departments, including English, Mathematics, Social Studies (History), Science, World Language, Physical Education/Health, Fine and Applied Arts, Business and Technology, Dramatic Arts, and Special Education. [13]
