History

The high school opened in 1951, replacing an originally all-grades central high school known as the Osgood School. [2]

Football coach and science teacher Jeffrey Knight was indicted in early 2019 on charges related to an alleged sexual assault on a Cohasset Middle School student in 2018. [3] In December 2021, he was found guilty on two charges of inappropriate touching of a child. [4] The school administration was accused of delaying reporting the assault; [5] Carolyn Connolly, principal of the high school and the junior high school, was placed on leave in September 2018 [6] [7] and terminated in April 2019. The high school and middle school were then split, with separate principals. [8] In late 2021, Connolly sued for wrongful termination. [4]

In February 2023, the former assistant facilities manager of the Town of Cohasset was arraigned on charges related to a cryptocurrency mining operation that was run from a crawl space under the high school, using electricity illegally diverted from the school. [9] [10]
