History

The current high school was constructed in 1966 although local students had received private high school level instruction within the town since colonial times. During the American Revolution (1775–1783), one of North Smithfield's first recorded schools was founded in the home of Elisha Thornton near modern day Slatersville. In the 1800s many local students attended the private Bushee Academy (Smithfield Union Village Academy) in Union Village. The first school building located near the present high school in Primrose, Rhode Island was known as the "Andrews School," originally a one-room wooden school house, first constructed in 1838. The wooden building was replaced by a larger brick building in the early twentieth century, which currently serves as the North Smithfield Superintendent's office.[3] Prior to the completion of the 1966 school, North Smithfield students often attended "Woonsocket and Blackstone high schools locally or went to Moses Brown, Classical High School, or Technical High School in Providence"[4]
