SCHOOLS

The first schools in Addison were held in private homes. Gradually the town established separate school districts. In 1855 there were 14 districts with additional pupils on Nash Island. There were one-room, one-teacher schools in several locations around the town. Some of them are still standing and being used for other purposes today. One example is the Basin School, that now is home to Basin School Crafts and Quilts. Eventually the S.S. Nash School and the Point School became the sole educational buildings in Addison.

In 1966, Addison consolidated with five other towns to form SAD#37.  Narragaugus High School on Rt.1 in Harrington served the whole district. In 1975 the D.W. Merritt Elementary School on Rt.187 was constructed for all students, K-8. It still serves as Addison's elementary school today.
