Richard C. Briggs High School is a secondary school located in Norwalk, Connecticut, USA. It opened in 1938 as the Center for Vocational Arts but is now named after Dr. Richard C. Briggs, who was superintendent of Norwalk schools from 1971 to 1980. Nowadays Briggs High is an alternative to the two traditional high schools (Norwalk and McMahon). The current principal of Briggs is Alaine Lane[2].
Briggs students have the opportunity to enroll in the Briggs-Norwalk Community College Academy, in which they can take college classes at Norwalk Community College while they are still in high school. There is an active Photography program at Briggs High School.
The class of 2007 included 22 graduates[3].
In January of 2007 Briggs was listed by the ConnCAN educational research consultancy as number 7 in their list of Connecticut schools making significant progress in shrinking the gap between white and minority students on standardized test scores, and it was the only High School in the top 10 on the list.[4]
