Fairfield Ludlowe High School opened in the fall of the 2003–2004 as a satellite campus of Fairfield High School. Temporarily named “Fairfield High School at the Ludlowe Site”, the school housed only freshmen and sophomores (the Classes of 2007 and 2006, respectively), and shared its athletics teams with Fairfield High School. The school would officially become a second high school starting in the fall of the 04–05 academic year. Over the course of the 03–04 academic year, the school determined its colors and mascot, and the name of the school was chosen — “Fairfield Ludlowe High School”. The name of the other school was changed from “Fairfield High School” to “Fairfield Warde High School” to reflect parity between the two schools.
The building that Fairfield Ludlowe High School now occupies was the former Mill Plain School (when the Tomlinson Middle School building was “Roger Ludlowe High School”). Eventually the building became “Roger Ludlowe High School” when the town had two high schools (the other being “Andrew Warde High School”). The schools were consolidated in 1987. Roger Ludlowe High School shut its doors and Andrew Warde High School became Fairfield High School, the town’s singular high school. The town wanted to sell the Ludlowe property to developers in the late 1980s, but First Selectwoman Davis Burroughs made the decision to keep the property for further academic use. In 1998, the former Roger Ludlowe High School opened as Roger Ludlowe Middle School, a third for the town. When the town decided it needed a second high school, a new Roger Ludlowe Middle School was constructed on the same property, and the existing middle school building (the former Roger Ludlowe High School) was heavily renovated and opened as Fairfield High School at the Ludlowe Site in fall 2003.
The Ludlowe slogan is an acronym using the letters of "falcons", the school's mascot. Each letter stands for a trait Ludlowe students possess or work toward. The traits are: Fellowship Acceptance Learning Commitment Opportunity Niche Success
