Fairfield Ludlowe High School (FLHS) is a Co-educational Secondary School located in Fairfield, Connecticut , United States . ORIGINS FLHS was reopened as a high school in fall 2003 because of overcrowding at Fairfield's one existing high school, now called Fairfield Warde High School . There was a small controversy concerning what the name of the new school would be. Many wished to bring back Roger Ludlowe High School, which occupied the same building and was closed in 1987. The school was originally opened as "Fairfield High School at the Ludlowe Site," as a satellite campus of Fairfield High School housing 9th and 10th grades. The Board of Education then decided that it would be called Fairfield High School South, while the existing high school would be called Fairfield High School East. This caused quite an uproar, because east and south are obviously not opposites. The Board claimed that they voted this way to minimize rivalry between the schools. Several months later, after much persuasion, the Board took another vote. They decided to call the two schools Fairfield Ludlowe and Fairfield Warde, keeping the names from before the 1987 consolidation but also maintaining the reputation of the Fairfield name. There now exists a healthy rivalry between the two schools. The "first class" of FLHS graduated in June 2006 and the first class to attend all four years at the high school will graduate in June 2007. ATHLETICS Fall
