It is my pleasure to welcome you to the website of the Chariho Regional School District. The District serves the communities of Charlestown, Hopkinton, and Richmond and includes four elementary schools, a middle school, a high school/career and technical center, and an alternative school. Approximately 3,800 pre-kindergarten through grade twelve students attend our schools.
The District encompasses 127 square miles in southern Rhode Island that include oceanfront, rural, and suburban areas. The towns boast an abundance of golf courses, turf farms, and beaches. An ideal place to raise children, one only has to visit the tri-town area to develop a fondness for it.
All of our schools are high performing as designated by the Rhode Island Department of Education. Chariho Regional High School has been a Regents’ Commended School for the last three years. This is largely due to the fact that the three towns served by the District support high-quality public education. We are determined to maintain this status even as achievement targets set by the Department rise in future years.
A personal invitation is extended to all community members interested in high-quality public education to share your thoughts, comments, and suggestions with me. We can only become more effective in meeting the needs of each and every child when collective thinking informs action. You can reach me by phone at 364-7575, by email at Barry [dot] Ricci [at] chariho [dot] k12 [dot] ri [dot] us, or by mail at 455A Switch Road, Wood River Junction, RI, 02894. I look forward to hearing from you!
I hope that you will find your visit to our website helpful and informative. Please return often.
