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, which opened for the 2017-2018 school year. Prior to its first day in use, a bomb threat was received, necessitating the presence of the Townsend, MA police department with metal detectors. The adjacent older school's demolition was started in the fall of 2017. The older school was completely demolished in the summer of 2018. The school has also received a new track and turf field, which was completed in June 2019.
