Nonnewaug High School is a public school in Woodbury, Connecticut USA which serves the towns of Woodbury and Bethlehem, Connecticut. It is part of Regional School District #14. Before 1970, students in the district attended Woodbury High School, which has now become the middle school. The school houses the Ellis Clark Regional Agri-Science and Technology Center, which draws students from additional surrounding areas. The school serves just under 900 students, around a third of which are from the agriscience program. The name "Nonnewaug" comes from a local Native American Chief. The word, originally Nunnaw-auke, means “dry land". The Woodbury FFA Chapter from Nonnewaug set a national record of CDE teams sent to Indianapolis to compete at FFA Nationals during the 2011-2012 school year. Nonnewaug produces some of the top FFA teams in the country.

That grammar school of courtesies
Where wit and beauty learned their trade
Upon Urbino’s windy hill,
Had sent no runners to and fro
That he might learn the shepherds’ will.”
