History
The school's current campus opened in 1958. In 1975, a major building addition program added extensively to academic support and athletic facilities while doubling the enrollment capacity of the school. Currently, the school enrolls around 1000 students in grades 7–12, reflecting moderate growth over recent years. East Bridgewater Jr./Sr. High School is accredited by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges and was last evaluated in 2006.
Current
A new Jr./Sr. High School opened in fall of 2013. The new state-of-the-art school sits on land formerly occupied by the school athletic fields and tennis courts. New fields were constructed on the site of the original building.
A budget was proposed in the spring of 2015 by the overseeing school district, East Bridgewater Public Schools, that would have eliminated all extracurricular programs. Students protested the budget and a few students in particular participated in making a short film titled Necessary Extras demonstrating the importance of extra curricular programs. The budget was over turned and the teachers of the school gave up their annual union pay raise in order to help fund the programs. As of fall of 2015 the school's programs are fully funded.
