Nathan Hale-Ray High School, nestled in the heart of Moodus, Connecticut, proudly serves approximately 300 students from East Haddam, Moodus and surrounding areas.

We believe in empowering students to chart their own paths, with support systems and learning environments that promote initiative, collaboration, and reflection.
