John Stark Regional High School is a coeducational regional public high school in Weare, New Hampshire serving the communities of Weare and Henniker, New Hampshire. It is part of School Administrative Unit (SAU) 24, and is administered by the John Stark School District. John Stark Regional is named after General John Stark, who served in the American Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War.
[edit] History
John Stark Regional High School was created to serve the communities of Weare and Henniker, and was built in 1987 with the support of both towns.
After years of overcrowding, a $5 million addition/renovation project was approved by the voters of Weare and Henniker on March 14, 2000, but the project was delayed due to a legal challenge to "Senate Bill 2," which allowed towns to pass building projects with an approval of 60% of balloted votes versus the two-thirds majority of those towns using the town meeting form of government. The project was allowed to proceed in the Spring of 2002, and construction began in June 2002.
Starting with the 2006-2007 school year, soda and other unhealthy foods will be prohibited from being sold during school hours.
