Welcome!
We are a regional school district in western Massachusetts serving preschool through high school students from Gill and Montague, as well as grades 7 through 12 students from Erving. We enroll just under 1,000 students in three elementary schools and one combined middle and high school. Gill Elementary serves students in grades K-6 with one classroom per grade level. In Montague, Hillcrest Elementary enrolls students in pre- school through grade 1 and Sheffield Elementary serves students in grades 2 through 5. Great Falls Middle School is home to students in grades 6-8 and these students share a building with our Turners Falls High School scholars in grades 9-12.
The district provides comprehensive, public school programs and services delivered by highly qualified faculty and highly dedicated staff who strive to live our mission of challenging and supporting every student. We have a rolling school choice program, so we are able to enroll new students throughout the year at many grade levels. We encourage you to explore our website and, better yet, come visit us in person. Please don’t hesitate to contact any of our schools or offices to arrange a visit or an introductory meeting.

Administrative Reporting Attendance Error Causing Stir in Gill-Montague Regional School District.
As the Gill-Montague Regional School District continues in its “Every Student, Every Day, Everyone Belongs”, school attendance and community building campaign, it was very disheartening to see the report and hear the news that school administrators were somehow identified as missing 32.1 days or maintaining a 86.7% attendance rate. How can the district promote the value of consistent school attendance for students and staff if the administrators are not maintaining this standard? Through quick investigation, it turns out there was a reporting error! In reality, the...
SUPERINTENDENT’S CORNER
I once again extend my sincere gratitude to the GMRSD School Committee for this incredible opportunity. I am genuinely enthusiastic about the next twelve months and the collaborative work we will undertake on behalf of the Gill-Montague students, staff, and community. I encourage you to please feel entirely comfortable introducing yourselves to me, and to approach me with any questions, concerns, or, indeed, to share points of pride regarding our schools and students. Together, through collective effort and shared vision, I am confident that we can further enhance the educational experience for all of our children.
