The Nashoba Regional School District School Committee has voted unanimously to approve “Nashoba Wolves” as the new Nashoba High School mascot and team name, according to a press release from District Superintendent Brooke Clenchy.
The vote April 7 followed a thoughtful, collaborative process to explore mascot ideas from the broader school community and to retire the Chieftains nickname. The process was guided by a Mascot Committee composed of administrators, teachers, coaches, alumni, and high school students.
“This collaborative process has been just one example of how teamwork is at the heart of everything we do in the district,” Clenchy stated in the release. “It’s fitting that our community has chosen Wolves – whose packs are known for their teamwork as well as their individual strengths – as the new symbol of Nashoba Regional High School.”

Elementary school students could be returning to the classroom five days a week beginning in April, according to a proposal outlined by Department of Elementary and Secondary Education Commissioner Jeffrey Riley on Feb. 23, and supported by Gov. Charlie Baker.
In his weekly news conference Baker said it was time to eliminate remote learning.
“The Governor and Commissioner have laid out an aggressive timeline. There will be a good deal of hard work ahead of us, and attention to detail, regarding the necessary components for all school districts to be able to move ahead with this. We want to see a safe and full return for all students, and we need to ensure that it is safe for our staff to safely return with them. We look forward to receiving specific, concrete guidance from DESE that will help to safely guide this important process, said Brooke Clenchy, superintendent of the Nashoba Regional School District in an email.
COVID high-risk communities in Mass. had a mix of in-person and remote school models
Updated Dec 13, 2020;
Most schools in Massachusetts have been maintaining some form of in-person learning for students this fall, but some districts are making temporary changes as coronavirus cases surge.
Education officials have stressed that in-school spread of coronavirus is low, but there is transmission in classrooms. In Framingham, students are learning remotely until next month after Superintendent Robert Tremblay reported instances of in-schools transmission of the virus, as well as reports of parents sending symptomatic children to class.
With 158 Massachusetts communities now considered at high risk for spreading COVID-19 - up from 97 the previous week - some districts have decided to switch to remote education through the holidays.
