Editing Pembroke, Massachusetts (section)

==Education==
In 1952, Pembroke was a founding community of the [[Silver Lake Regional High School|Silver Lake Regional School District]], along with [[Kingston, Massachusetts|Kingston]], [[Halifax, Massachusetts|Halifax]], and [[Plympton, Massachusetts|Plympton]]. Due to chronic overcrowding which had led to split sessions by 1970 and double sessions by 1974, the town built its own campus of [[Silver Lake Regional High School]] in 1976, across from Hobomock Elementary School on Learning Lane.  Flooding due to burst pipes delayed its occupancy until November 1976.

In 2002, with growing population again an issue, Pembroke separated from the other towns to reestablish its own school district; its students remained at Silver Lake RHS until 2004.  The satellite campus, which had been in service as the Silver Lake district's middle school in recent years, was renovated to become [[Pembroke High School]], and serves students from ninth through twelfth grade.  Pembroke's athletics teams are known as the Titans (complete with a logo reminiscent of the [[Tennessee Titans]] logo), and their colors are blue and white.  They compete in the Patriot League.  Pembroke has established a [[Thanksgiving Day]] football rivalry with previously mentioned Silver Lake Regional High School.

The town has three elementary schools (Bryantville, Hobomock and North Pembroke), which serve students from [[kindergarten]] through sixth grades (North Pembroke also serves pre-kindergarten classes).  The Pembroke Community Middle School, located in the former Silver Lake Regional Junior High School on Route 27, serves seventh and eighth grade students.

The town has no contract with any vocational schools, the nearest being South Shore Vocational Tech in [[Hanover, Massachusetts|Hanover]].  The nearest four-year college is [[Bridgewater State University]]; the nearest community colleges are [[Quincy College]]'s satellite campus in [[Plymouth, Massachusetts|Plymouth]] and [[Massasoit Community College]] in [[Brockton, Massachusetts|Brockton]].
