History
The school was built in 1957-1959 and an addition was added in 1972. The citizens of the neighboring town of Mason, New Hampshire expressed an interest in possibly joining the North Middlesex District in 2006. However, the choice was voted down by New Ipswich and other members of Mason's current school district.
In 2014 the towns of Pepperell, Ashby and Townsend voted for the construction of a new building. The new building opened for the 2017 school year. The adjacent older school's demolition is planned for the fall of 2017.
