The school is named for Revolutionary War hero Nathan Hale, whose famous last words before being hanged were, "I regret that I have but one life to lose for my country." It is located in the Green Manorville section of Enfield, across the street from Green Manor Park. The school has developed a RESPECT program to help students learn the skills they need to be responsible citizens in school, at home, and in the community. LeAnn Beaulieu currently serves as principal.
