Welcome to Worcester

Worcester County Public Schools has a long and proud tradition of excellence. An integral part of the WCPS strategic direction is improving partnerships with our school system community. Following feedback received from our stakeholders in the Communications Survey, we have redesigned our district and several schools' websites to give you - our online visitors - an experience that is more functional and easy to navigate.

Please don't hesitate to let us know how we can continue to improve your online experience with us by completing a short survey: Website Feedback Survey.
