It is part of School Administrative Unit (SAU) 24, and is administered by the John Stark School District. John Stark Regional is named after General John Stark, who served in the American Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War.
- History
-
John Stark Regional High School was created to serve the communities of Weare and Henniker, and was built in 1987 with the support of both towns.
- After years of overcrowding, a $5 million addition/renovation project was approved by the voters of Weare and Henniker on March 14, 2000, but the project was delayed due to a legal challenge to "Senate Bill 2," which allowed towns to pass building projects with an approval of sixty percent of balloted votes versus the two-thirds majority of those towns using the town meeting form of government. The project was allowed to proceed in the spring of 2002, and construction began in June 2002.
- At the start of the 2006-2007 school year, soda and other unhealthy foods became prohibited from being sold during school hours. A Hat/Electronic Device Policy was also implemented which banned the wearing of hats and the use of personal electronic devices, such as cellphones and MP3 players, during school hours.
- New Principal
-
After eight years as principal, Arthur Aaronson retired in 2007. One of the assistant principals, Michael Turmelle, was promoted to serve as principal, beginning in the 2007-08 school year.

John Stark Regional High School is a community committed to fostering a climate of regard, respect, and integrity. The policies and procedures set forth in the John Stark Code of Conduct are intended to help students present themselves in a manner consistent with the "John Stark Way."
