Schools
The New Fairfield Public Schools Systems includes 4 schools: Consolidated School, Meeting House Hill School (Under renovation as of late 2012), New Fairfield Middle School and New Fairfield High School. The Middle School and High School are connected to one another. The Middle School got a new library called "Cyberspace." They call it that because the students here in the Middle School do a new program called 1 to 1 computing. The students use computers in almost every class they have. This program consists of 6 and 7 graders. Recent updates to Meeting House Hill School include a new gym with brand new sports bleachers and significant renovations to every other part of the school. This renovation project started in 2010 and is going to end in 2013. In 2010 the demolition started with completely knocking down an entire wing. What replaced that was the "500 Wing" or the new 5th Grade wing. Before the 500 wing the Butler wing was full of 4th graders.

Famous quotes containing the word schools:
“You are a shameless, husband-hunting by-product of six of the most expensive finishing schools in the Western Hemisphere.”
—Tom Waldman (d. 1985)
“Columbus stood in his age as the pioneer of progress and enlightenment. The system of universal education is in our age the most prominent and salutary feature of the spirit of enlightenment, and it is peculiarly appropriate that the schools be made by the people the center of the day’s demonstration. Let the national flag float over every schoolhouse in the country and the exercises be such as shall impress upon our youth the patriotic duties of American citizenship.”
—Benjamin Harrison (1833–1901)
“Universal suffrage should rest upon universal education. To this end, liberal and permanent provision should be made for the support of free schools by the State governments, and, if need be, supplemented by legitimate aid from national authority.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
