[edit] History

In 1811, Cromwell High School occupied the building now used as Belden Library, which is adjacent to the town hall. There were 277 students total in this year. In 1902, the Nathaniel White School was built, and used as the high school for 54 years, until the current high school, Cromwell High School, was built in 1956. The Nathaniel White School is still used today as a school for grades 6, 7, and 8, and is known as Cromwell Middle School. The high school is used for 9, 10, 11, and 12th grades.
