History

A regional school planning board was established by Westminster in 1954 and Ashburnham in 1955. The concept of building Oakmont Regional Junior-Senior High School was proposed by the school faculty in 1957. After it received town approval, construction was started in January 1959. The new school opened in September 1960 at a cost of $750,000. After a visit by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges in 1994 it was determined that after 34 years major renovations were needed. In the summer of 2001 construction began and was completed 26 months later at a cost of $35,561,481.
