Housatonic Valley Regional High School
Housatonic Valley Regional High School (HVRHS) is a regional high school in the village of Falls Village in the town of Canaan, Connecticut in Litchfield County. The school currently has a student population of approximately 413 in grades 9 to 12. It serves six towns: Sharon, Kent, North Canaan, Canaan (Falls Village), Salisbury, and Cornwall, including the unincorporated villages (such as East Canaan, Lime Rock and Lakeville) within those towns. It was established in 1939 as a result of a special act of the Connecticut General Assembly in 1937. It is the first regional high school in New England.
==History==
Prior to the opening of Housatonic Valley Regional High School, four of the six towns it currently serves each had its own high school. In the 1920s, William Teague, the state's rural supervisor of schools, suggested that Connecticut's sprawling Northwest Corner consolidate its public schools. In 1937, the Connecticut General Assembly authorized the formation of the first regional school district in the state (hence the name of the new district, "(Regional School District Number One )"). The newly formed school board purchased the former Lorch farm at the junction of the Salmon Kill and the Housatonic River near the Canaan-Salisbury town line for $8,000. The school was subsequently constructed on that site, opening in the fall of 1939.
In 2001, the school facility expanded; adding a new agricultural education center, library, and updated science labs. The school facility includes one gymnasium, an auditorium, a cafeteria and dozens of classrooms. The school sat under the shadow of a white oak, from which the yearbook ''The White Oak'' takes its name. The historic White Oak was so badly damaged in a storm on Monday, July 5, 2004, shortly after the arrival of previous principal Dr. Gretchen Foster, that it was taken down.〔Waterbury Republican-American, 7 July 2004〕 The School also has two other courtyards: the Sophomore Courtyard located near the cafeteria, and the Faculty Courtyard (formerly Freshmen courtyard). In 2007, HVRHS became the North American Champions of the Canon Envirothon competition,.〔http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m0EIN/is_/ai_n19396264〕
In early 2008, a plan was unveiled to renovate the former Clarke B. Wood Agricultural Center on campus. Part of that building, closed in 2001 after construction of a new Agriculture Center, has been turned into the artgarage, an afterschool activity center. The main part of that building was renovated into the Mahoney-Hewat Science and Technology Center, containing areas for extended curriculum activities needing more space than in the school's science laboratories and includes permanent space for the high school's robotics team (FIRST # 716), electric vehicle construction, a conference room with space for the Alumni Association activities, a business office for the 21st Century organization and various displays and supplies. The renovations were completed late 2012 and will serve not only high school students but all the CT Region One School District schools and students.
