Westborough Community Education

What Westborough Community Education does

Westborough Community Education operates Westborough High School (WHS), a public secondary school serving students in grades 9-12 within the Westborough Public Schools district in Massachusetts. The school operates as a government/state entity under Massachusetts education law and is governed by an elected School Committee. WHS serves as the district's sole public high school option for resident students, housed at 90 West Main Street on a 30-acre campus with a building capacity of approximately 1,000 students. Institutional history traces to 1854, with the current campus established in 1968 and a major renovation completed circa 2001.

WHS delivers a comprehensive secondary education program spanning 13 subject areas including Business, Computer Science, Engineering Technology, English, ELL, Family & Consumer Science, Fine Arts, Math, PE/Health/Wellness, Science, Social Emotional Learning, Social Studies, and World Languages (French, Spanish, Mandarin). The technology stack consists of standard educational platforms: Finalsite for website/content management, PowerSchool as the student information system, ParentSquare for family communications, Schoology as the learning management system, and Google Workspace applications. The school is transitioning its college and career planning platform from Naviance to SchooLinks beginning in the 2026-27 school year. Specialized programs include the Quest community service program for seniors (running since 1973), National Honor Society tutoring, and the Massachusetts Seal of Biliteracy program partnered with 14 state universities. Mental health referral support is delivered in partnership with the William James INTERFACE Referral Service.

As a public school, WHS does not charge tuition to district residents and does not generate commercial revenue. Funding flows from local property taxes, Massachusetts state education aid, and federal grants administered through the Westborough Public Schools district. Certain extracurricular activities and programs carry associated fees, with financial aid available. The entity has no venture capital, private equity, or publicly traded ownership structure, and there are no commercial contracts, pricing tiers, or revenue streams typical of an investable enterprise.
