Sutton High School is a public high school located in Sutton, Massachusetts.[2] The school shares its location with Sutton Middle School on a nearly 64-acre campus.
According to A History of the Town of Sutton, Massachusetts, written by William Addison Benedict and Hiram Averill Tracy in 1878, Reverend George Anson Willard established Sutton High School in 1835.[3]
Between 2011 and 2015, major renovations took place to the existing school building by the Boston-based architecture firm Flansburgh Architects.[4]
The yearbook of Sutton High is known as the Exitus, and is known to have been published as far back as 1938.[5] The school's student newspaper is known as Sutton High News.[6]

Department of Education Visit

Secretary Linda McMahon was intended to visit as part of this event, possibly sitting in on classes, and maybe leading a pep rally. However, due to complications, the event was indefinitely postponed.[16]
