Rockport High School is a public high school in Rockport, Massachusetts.

History

Rockport has had four different high school buildings. The Old Rockport High School was built in 1865 and now serves as the Rockport Community Center. The second building, located at 4 Broadway, was built in 1925, and served the school system in a variety of capacities until 1988. That structure was designed by the architecture firm J. Williams Beal, Sons. The high school was moved in the 1960s to the George Tarr School, a converted 1904 textile mill building, adjacent to the 1925 building. Rockport High moved into its present facility at 24 Jerdens Lane in 1988.^[6]

Both the 1865 and 1925 buildings are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.^[5]
