History and campus

The original Naugatuck High School building on Hillside Avenue was designed by McKim, Mead, and White and opened in 1906. Commissioned by industrialist John Howard Whittemore, it is noted for its Classical Revival design and three ground-level entrances on different elevations.
A new campus at 543 Rubber Avenue opened in 1959. Additions in the 1970s created three wings—Castle House, Goodyear House, and the Applied Education Wing —while the main building became known as Judd House. Following later renovations, the campus was reconfigured into North, South, East, and West.
In 2009, the school installed rooftop solar panels; related roof work later necessitated a replacement project a decade on.
A comprehensive “renovate-as-new” project began in 2013 and was substantially completed in 2015, modernizing interiors, exteriors, and technology.

Athletics

Naugatuck sponsors boys’ and girls’ teams in soccer, cross country, swimming, basketball, indoor and outdoor track and field, tennis, golf, baseball/softball, football, volleyball, and wrestling. All teams compete in the Naugatuck Valley League.
The football team plays Ansonia each Thanksgiving, a series that began in 1900 and is among Connecticut’s best-known holiday rivalries.
