Facilities Rentals

Algonquin Regional High School offers a structured facility rental program designed to support community use while protecting the integrity of school operations. Guided by Regional Policy E-110, the program permits access to school spaces when such use does not interfere with academic schedules, athletics, or other school-sponsored activities. 

 

Please see the Guidelines below for information about the Facility Use Program. Please contact Principal Sean Bevan with questions: (508) 351-7010 x1002.
