The North Country Union Junior High School in Derby is home to approximately 235 seventh through eighth-grade students from seven of those towns, while North Country Union High School and the North Country Career Center host more than 700 ninth through twelfth-grade students from all twelve member districts. Formerly Orleans Essex North Supervisory Union (OENSU), which goes back to the 1960’s, the name was changed to North Country Supervisory Union (NCSU) July 1, 2008 and approved by the Vermont Agency of Education to enable us to better identify with our North Country Union High School and North Country Union Junior High School. NCSU is SU31, geographically the largest Supervisory Union in Vermont with 520 Square miles, of which the inclusive schools are encompassed by two counties, Orleans and Essex.
