Nathan Drury High School was founded in 1843 by a grant of $3,000 left in the will of Nathan Drury, a wealthy farmer of the Town of Florida, Berkshire, Massachusetts. In 1851, it became a free public high school. In 1867, the original school building was torn down. The school moved to 24 Church Street, and a new school was built at that location and remained until 1975, after which the building was repurposed into an elementary school, now remaining in service as of 2024 as Colegrove Park Elementary. The newest building of Nathan Drury High School, known as Drury High School, was built at 1130 Church St., North Adams, in 1975.
The school colors evolved over time, as did the mascot in 1898. The school colors were yellow and white, whereas today they are royal blue, white and pink.
