Pembroke High School was formed in 2005 when the town of Pembroke split away from the Silver Lake Regional School District over concerns about overcrowding, and that Pembroke consisted of half of the population of the then four town district. The building was constructed as the Pembroke campus of the Silver Lake Regional High School and opened in October 1976, and was subsequently the Silver Lake District's middle school. Pembroke students and parents had concerns of transportation during sporting/school activities, being a separate campus of Silver Lake, and also over the concern of feeling isolated away from the rest of the Silver Lake student population, which subsequently led to Pembroke's split from the Silver Lake District into their own separate school district in 2004.
As of 2008, the population of the school was 98% white, with 10% of the student body of low income and 10% classified as special needs.[1] 95% of targeted students met MCAS requirements for English, while 88% met MCAS requirements for mathematics.
The school's sports teams are known as the Titans, and the school colors are Blue, Red & White. Pembroke competes in the Patriot League. The Patriot League's members are Scituate, Quincy, Hanover, Middleborough, Duxbury, Hingham, Whitman-Hanson, North Quincy, and Silver Lake. The league is divided into two divisions, Patriot-Fisher and Patriot-Keenan. These divisions are divided up based on school population, with Pembroke being a member of the Patriot-Fisher division. Pembroke's chief rival is Silver Lake, but have also recently developed rivalries with Scituate and Middleborough.
The most successful program at the high school has been the track program, sending the 2010 Boys' Cross Country Team to the Nike Cross Country National Championship in Oregon. The team has won multiple MIAA State Championships.
The team with the most wins in Pembroke athletics has been the golf team, winning the Patriot League Championship six seasons in a row compiling a record of 109 wins with only 19 loses, while also capturing two Division III South Sectional Championships (2007, 2010), and a Division III State Runner Up (2010).
The boys' hockey team was a D-III South Regional Semi-Finalist in 2008 and a D-III State Semi-Finalist in 2010-2011. They were also the 2010-2011 D-III South Sectional Champions as well, before falling in the State Semi-Finals to eventual State Champion, Marblehead by a score of 3-2.
The school's official boosters organization, the Pembroke High School Athletic Boosters, is located at 48 Schoosett Street in Pembroke.[2]
