Students from Amherst and Mont Vernon attend Souhegan for 9th through 12th grades. There are about 870 students and over 160 faculty members. The name is derived from the Souhegan River, which adjoins the school property, and the Souhegan Valley region of New Hampshire (which was, in turn, also named for the river). The word Souhegan comes from the Algonquin language, meaning "waiting and watching place".

Famous quotes containing the words high and/or school:
“And the shuttle never falters, but to draw an encouraging conclusion
From this would be considerable, too odd. Why not just
Breathe in with the courage of each day, recognizing yourself as one
Who must with difficulty get down from high places?”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
“You send a boy to school in order to make friends—the right sort.”
—Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)
