Nauset Public Schools, or the Nauset Regional School District, is a school district headquartered in Orleans, Massachusetts.[1] In addition to Orleans its attendance area includes Brewster, Eastham, and Wellfleet.[2]

It also takes middle and high school students from Truro,[3] and since 2012 high school students from Provincetown.[4] The Provincetown Schools district in 2010 agreed to close Provincetown High School and send its high school students to Nauset.[5]

In 1993 the school district had 3,207 students. Expensive housing and a decline in births resulted in enrollment declines, with enrollment at 2,361 in 2020. In 2020 all of its schools except for Eastham Elementary lost students.[6]

Michael Gradone was superintendent until his 2009 retirement.[3]
