NRHS believes that its mission is to prepare students to achieve their maximum potential by providing and educational environment that challenges them academically and that recognizes their uniqueness. Teachers and staff should serve as role models in the pursuit of learning.

We further recognize our responsibility to prepare students for their roles as life-long learners in a culturally diverse world. Students, as active learners, are encouraged to cultivate tolerance, self-confidence, and respect for others.

We acknowledge that NRHS is a community center that is vital to the towns of Templeton and Phillipston. We believe that our students become productive citizens by participating in school and community life.
