Still Known as Andrew Warde High School

Over the weekend I came across several photos from this year's graduation ceremony at Fairfield Warde High School courtesy of the Connecticut Post newspaper. Imagine my delight when I noticed the school's name listed as Andrew Warde High School! Andrew Warde High School became Fairfield High School in 1986 when both public high schools consolidated into one school at the Melville Avenue campus.

Naturally, I checked the Ludlowe graduation photos, and the newspaper referred to the school by its current name, Fairfield Ludlowe High School.

Do you still call the school Andrew Warde? Warde High? Or do you call it Fairfield Warde? I'd like to know what you think.

As far as I'm concerned, the school will always be known as Andrew Warde High School.
