Existing Schools

When were our existing school buildings built?

It's been more than 50 years since a new school was built in Chelmsford!

Through the years, modular classrooms were added at all the K-8 schools to alleviate overcrowding and accommodate full-day kindergarten which began in the fall of 2017. However, the Parker modular classrooms are more than 20 years old and nearing the end of their useful life.

1974: Chelmsford High School (Grades 9-12)

The high school program itself was established earlier in 1927, and previously occupied the current McCarthy Middle School building.
