Harwich High School was a public high school located in Harwich, Massachusetts. Harwich High School was the third smallest public high school on Cape Cod. Harwich High School closed in 2013-2014 due to the towns of Harwich and Chatham deciding to regionalize their school districts and build a regional high school. The new high school's name will be Monomoy Regional High School.
Harwich High School had an approximate enrollment of 400 students in grades 9-12. The school's mascot is the Rough Rider and its colors are Blue, Gold, and White.
Harwich was notable for having an outstanding baseball team. The baseball team won the Division 3 State Championship in 1996, 2006, and 2007, under the helm of legendary Massachusetts Hall of Fame coach Fred Thacher. Harwich played at Whitehouse Field, which is a first class baseball park which is also home to the Harwich Mariners of the Cape Cod Baseball League. It has also hosted the NCAA Division 3 New England Regional Championships on numerous occasions. Harwich also had sent numerous players to prestigious schools for baseball including Boston College, Vanderbilt, Wheaton, UMass Amherst, South Florida, and George Mason. Harwich currently has two baseball alumni in the Major Leagues, Cody Crowell and Ryan Soares. The Rough Riders reached the Division IV South Sectional Finals in 2010, only to lose to league rival Cohasset by a score of 6-1. Cohasset eventually went on to with the State Championship that year. During the 2012 baseball season, the last season of Harwich being its own baseball team before they regionalize with Chatham and become Monomoy Regional in 2013, they won the Division IV South Sectional Championship, and eventually reached the Massachusetts Division IV State Championship. However, Harwich was eventually defeated by Georgetown by a score of 11-1.
