About the NCSU…
North Country Supervisory Union is responsible for the education of students in the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont towns of Brighton, Charleston, Coventry, Derby, Holland, Jay, Lowell, Morgan, Newport City, Newport Town, Troy and Westfield. There are nine elementary schools in the Supervisory Union, and each school has a preschool program. The Encore After-School and Summer Program is active at each of the elementary schools and is offered for 30-32 weeks over the school year, and 4-5 weeks during the summer. 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.

Planning for the Future at North Country Union High School and Career Center

Thank you to those folks who have taken the time to fill out this survey and have submitted your feedback.
If you have not yet completed this survey, please take a few minutes to give your input.

Survey closes on Tuesday, October 13th.

Dear North Country Staff and Families,

As we plan for the future of North Country Union High School and the North Country Career Center, we want to hear from you.

NCUHS and NCCC have served generations of students and families across our region. As both facilities approach 60 years of age, aging building systems, changing educational needs, and PCB contamination have created important questions about how these facilities can best serve students and our communities for decades to come.

We are asking staff, families, and community members to share their perspectives through an anonymous community survey. The survey is being administered by the Donovan Group, an independent third party, and individual responses will remain anonymous. No responses will be attributed to specific individuals or respondents.

The survey will help the Building Committee better understand community awareness of our facility challenges, priorities for the future, and what people value most as we consider possible long-term solutions.

The survey takes approximately 10 minutes to complete and will remain open through October 13.

Take the survey:

No decisions have been made about the future of NCUHS or NCCC. We are still defining needs, reviewing options, studying costs, and gathering community input. Your feedback is an important part of that process, and we encourage every staff member and family to participate.

To learn more about the facilities, the challenges we are working to address, and the Building Committee’s work, visit https://www.northcountryfuture.org/.

Thank you for taking the time to share your perspective and help us plan thoughtfully for the future of North Country.
