The school was originally built in 1957-1959, but there was an addition built onto it 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. To this date, it continues to serve the three North Middlesex towns.
