Whittier Middle School Project

What is being considered

Built in 1957, Whittier Middle School has served generations of Haverhill students without a major renovation. As the building ages, the City of Haverhill is partnering with the Massachusetts School Building Authority (MSBA) to explore long-term solutions that address facility challenges and support the educational needs of current and future students.

From “The Whittier Middle School Project: What You Need to Know”, published with the School Committee’s agenda of October 22, 2026.
