[edit] Sports
The Thomaston High School cross country team has won the Berkshire League Title 6 times (1972, 1973, 2000, 2004, 2005, 2006). They have also been dubbed Connecticut Class S State Champions 4 times (1973, 2000, 2005, 2006). The team is now 10-0 and has recorded wins at the Windham, Coginchaug, and Nonnewaug invitationals. They are also the 2006 Berkshire League and Class S State Champions
[edit] Controversy
The school was in the news in 1998 when it expelled a student caught smoking marijuana off school grounds. The case raised issues concerning the extent that schools can police students' lives. The expulsion was appealed to Connecticut State Supreme Court, which ruled that students could be expelled if their off site behavior ``markedly interrupts or severely impedes the day-to-day operation of the school". The student was reinstated and filed a lawsuit against Thomaston after graduation.
