Over the past 50 years, since Andrew Warde High School opened in 1956 and later became Fairfield High School 30 years later, there have been many famous graduates from the Melville Avenue campus. Some of the luminaries include classmate and actress Linda Kozlowski, tennis great James Blake, golfer J. J. Henry, singer John Mayer, and children's television star Ricky Ullman.
In fact, there were many graduates from our class with whom I was impressed. I'm sure you can name quite a few alumni who have made a name for themselves over the years. Now comes word that the Fairfield High School Hall of Fame committee is reorganizing and is looking for representatives from the community who might be interested in becoming members.
The committee's purpose is to recognize and honor graduates of Andrew Warde High School, Roger Ludlowe High School, and Fairfield High School who have achieved outstanding success in their various fields of endeavor. In addition to receiving expressions of their alma mater's pride in their accomplishments, these alumni also become role models for current high school students.
The Hall of Fame committee meets three or four times a year. Anyone who has a sense of history of Fairfield's high schools and is interested in joining this group may contact Jim Corbiere. He may be reached via the Fairfield Public Schools.
