Frontier Regional School (FRS) is a regional combined public high school and middle school in South Deerfield, Massachusetts, serving students in grades 7–12, as part of the Union 38 School District. The district serves the four towns of Deerfield, Sunderland, Whately and Conway.
Frontier Regional runs on a semester system. Students can take 4–10 courses per semester; either 4 semester courses that meet everyday, or 3 semester courses that meet everyday and 5 quarter courses that meet every-other day. Quarter courses are usually non-academics, such as gym class or wood shop.
Football - The Frontier Red Hawks are a part of the Intercounty League. The team has a rich a storied history, most noticeably with its rivalry with opposing team Mohawk. The rivalry dates back to when the teams faced on Veterans Day, starting back in 1934, when Frontier was known as Deerfield High School, and Mohawk as Arms Academy. Currently, the Red Hawks are ahead in the series 40-28-7. The team is coached by Don Gordon, who is in his 17th season as head coach. Gordon took over the team from long-time coach Dick Howe, after a year of assistant coaching. The team is a four-time MIAA Western Massachusetts Champion, with its most recent coming in the 2006 season, the second year under Dredge.
Soccer - The boys' soccer team is part of the Schmid Division and compete in MIAA Division II Soccer. Red Hawks have steadily been on the rise since 2001. Before 2001, they had not had a winning season since their inception in the early 1990s. Since 2001, the boys' soccer team has built a program that has consistently been at the top of the McGrath South table and was a No. 1 seed in the Division III tournament for the three seasons (2007–2009). The #1 seed has not proven lucky for the Redhawks who have yet to advance to a Western Massachusetts final. After the 2009 season, the Red Hawks moved up to MIAA Division II soccer where they have yet to achieve a winning record. This season (2014), the Red Hawks are 10-3-4 and 5-1-1 in league games. With this season they have won league champs and are looking forward to successful D3 western mass tournament. The team is now coached by Dale Totman, a former Frontier star with over 100 points during his high school career. Dale took over for longtime coach Bill Sweidel who created a bench jumping, broom swinging legacy.
