History

Chalker High School is named for Newton Chalker, an attorney who was born in Southington in 1842.[3][4] Chalker created an endowment for the high school when schools in the township agreed to consolidate smaller schools in a central location. The town agreed to consolidation, and the original campus was completed in 1907, consisting of the Chalker High School building and a smaller elementary school.[4] Newton Chalker agreed to pay for Chalker High school, as long as the townspeople would pay for the elementary school building, which wasn't nearly as grand, totaling $6000 as compared to the Chalker Building's $20,000. The high school was constructed in the Neoclassical Revival architectural style, including fluted columns and a pedimented gable.[4] The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on February 4, 2011.[5]
