History and overview
Ground broke in 1964 for the construction of Harwood High School. Situated in South Duxbury, the school was built on a 20-acre (81,000 m2) plot of land and cost approximately $1.6 million to build. Construction was completed in early 1966 and the doors opened for the 1966-1967 school year. Harwood is named after Dr. Charles Harwood, a local physician who served at the births of a large number of the schools original students. Harwood is a union high school, meaning it serves multiple towns. These towns are Waitsfield, Warren, Fayston, Moretown, Duxbury Waterbury and Waterbury Center for the High School and Waitsfield, Warren, Fayston and Moretown for the middle school. In 1997, Harwood underwent a $7.2 million renovation in order to modernize its facilities as well as add a dedicated Middle School wing of the school. These renovations included a new exterior design featuring a curved front roof meant to look like a turning page. Notably, Harwood began a compost program for its student in the school year of 2011-2012 to help the environment.
