Fairfield Warde High School is a co-educational secondary school located in Fairfield, Connecticut, United States.

History

The existing Fairfield High School was opened in 1956, originally called Andrew Warde High School.

In 2001, Fairfield High School was deemed overcrowded. To alleviate population overflow, in 2003 Fairfield Ludlowe High School was opened at the former Roger Ludlowe High School site, then being used as Roger Ludlowe Middle School. The middle school has since claimed a new building, located next to Fairfield Ludlowe High. Fairfield Warde High School was renamed in 2004 so both schools could keep the historic Fairfield names from before the 1987 consolidation but also maintain the reputation of the Fairfield name. In the 2004–2005 school year, the school went under an extensive renovation projection which was completed in 2006. The new renovations included the addition of a new wing, split into 2 floors. This is the only location in the school with an accessible upper and lower level. as of 2017, solar panels were added to both the roof and parking lot, in an effort to stay green and provide cheap and stable energy.

Athletics include a men's and women's basketball team, football team, soccer team, volleyball team, tennis team, track team, lacrosse team, swimming team, golf team, Baseball/softball team, hockey team, exc. other athletics include fencing, bowling, skiing, sailing, dance, gymnastics, and wrestling.
