Minnechaug Regional High School is located in Wilbraham, Massachusetts.
It is the flagship school of the Hampden-Wilbraham Regional School District. The school's official colors are green and white, and its mascot is the Falcon.
Academic program: Minnechaug is viewed as one of the finest secondary schools, public or independent, in Western Massachusetts. The faculty offers a curriculum geared toward a wide range of students, including an extensive Honors/Advanced Placement program, a highly successful special education service, and collaborative arrangements with vocational opportunities in the area. Typically, around 90% of each graduating class goes on to pursue higher education, and about 75%-80% of each class enrolls in a four-year undergraduate program. In recent years, graduates have been accepted to many prestigious institutions of higher learning, including six of the eight Ivy League schools and MIT.
Extracurricular activities: Many of the extracurricular organizations also have a high degree of prestige, including the award-winning school newspaper (The Smoke Signal), various debate and mock-trial teams, and the school's literary magazine, Emeralds.
The school also has many different clubs that appeal to a wide range of student interest, including the Equine Club, Black Culture Club (BCC), Snowboard Club, Art Club, Outing Club, Key Club, Magic Club, and Chess Club.
Sports: The athletic program has teams in many different sports. A major and highly competitive team that Minnechaug is most proud of is their soccer team, where Franklin Lee highlights as their main scorer. The lacrosse team is also quite competitive. The school almost always captures at least one divisional championship each year.
Physical plant improvements: Several areas within Minnechaug's physical plant, first constructed in the middle of the twentieth century, are beginning to fail, causing the communities of Hampden and Wilbraham to investigate how these issues should be resolved. Proposed solutions range from moderate renovation to the construction of a completely new facility on the current site of some of the athletic fields. Actual work is not expected to begin until at least 2009.
