Rippowam School

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Rippowam High School was once a public high school in Stamford, CT, USA, the school closed and throughout the years the building was used for adult education, temporary locations for both the Hart Elementary School and the Magnet Middle School, which upon its move in 2001 to its permanent site on Scofieldtown Road (the former campus of the University of Connecticut, Stamford Campus) in North Stamford became Scofield Magnet Middle School. The campus has now become the site of Rippowam Middle School.

The Academy of Information Technology and Engineering (AITE), a regional magnet high school, which formerly shared the building with Rippowam Middle School, has occupied its own state-of-the-art building behind Rippowam since August 2007.

Rippowam Middle School has a large, well-equipped auditorium, which it still shares with the Academy of Information Technology and Engineering and is home to its own drama group (HSM, Aladdin, A Christmas Carol). Its current mascot, which was decided by popular vote in the first year of middle school status by the first class of sixth graders (class of 2004), is the Raptor.
