School Notes:
  • Algonquin Regional High School is a public high school in New England, located in Northborough, Massachusetts. Its students come from either Northborough or neighboring Southborough which together comprise the Regional School District. The superintendent of the district is Rosemary Joseph.
  • Algonquin's newspaper is The Algonquin Harbinger, which has been voted as the number one school newspaper in New England by the Scholastic Press. It also has an art/literary magazine, Sachem, and recently a one page student newsletter called "The Reg."
  • The boy's varsity soccer team won their second straight State Championship in 2005, and is undefeated in their last 44 games. In addition, the Algonquin Boy's Baseball Team won the MIAA Division I title in 2006. Although Algonquin is not known for its football, the school does have a heated rivalry with neighboring Westborough High School in the sport, and participates in an annual Thanksgiving Day football game with them. In 2006, the boys soccer team returned to the state finals but lost 4-1 to Saint John's Prep with Kevin Greico scoring their only goal. They also won the the annual Thanksgiving Day football game 18-6.
  • Notable alumni: Mike Sherman, former head coach of the Green Bay Packers.
  • Mark "The Bird" Fidrych, former MLB pitcher.
  • Renovation: Renovation and expansion of the school was proposed in the mid 1990's in order to modernize the school facilities and better prepare for the projected increase in enrollment as the population of the district increased. Renovation plans were held up for years as political issues inside and between both towns in the school district were resolved. Some proposed splitting the district and building separate schools, others proposed building an entirely new regional high school, and still others maintained the current school was sufficient.
  • A $60 million renovation and expansion plan was finally approved by the district and renovations began in 2003. The project has been plagued by delays, political turmoil, legal battles, and an $8,000 fine for allowing erosion and sediment to flow into adjacent wetlands. As of June 2006, the erosion problem has been solved (see *Mass DEP Enforcement Actions 2005, action dated 12/22/2005 for details.) In 2005 the district fired the contractor on the project after mismanagement resulted in missing the March 2005 completion target and to date has not hired a replacement. The renovations are continuing (Nov 2006) and are expected to be completed during the 2006-2007 school year.
