Sandwich High School

Sandwich Middle High School is a public high school located in East Sandwich, Massachusetts, United States. The school serves the students of Sandwich, Massachusetts. The school was formerly known as Sandwich High School (grades 9-12) with the attached S.T.E.M Academy (grades 7-8). Rebranding to Sandwich Middle High School took place in fall of 2022 due to a lack of S.T.E.M based courses being offered to 7th and 8th grade students. Despite this, Stem Academy is still on the sign upon entering the campus and going to the middle school part.
