As of the 2018–2019 school year, the school serves 1,571 students in grades 9–12 and employs 141 faculty members. It is the only high school of the Newtown Public Schools. Newtown High has been accredited by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges since 1948 and was awarded the Blue Ribbon Award for Schools of Excellence in 2000.[1][2][3] HistoryRenovationsRenovations began in 2008 on a {{convert|77000|sqft|m2|adj=on}} addition. The main building of the expansion was scheduled to open in the fall of 2010, but instead was completed in early 2012. The expansion project included adding a full new wing of three floors, including new classrooms and teachers' offices and a cafetorium (auditorium and cafeteria); renovating the gymnasium; and building a new {{convert|400|sqft|m2|adj=on}} greenhouse. In addition, the football field and track were renovated and much more parking was added. The expansion was fully completed in January 2010.[4] With the expansion, the school's area is {{convert|376000|sqft|m2|adj=on}}. MRSA scareOn October 17, 2007, two cases of MRSA strain staph infections were reported at Newtown High School. The school put precautions in place to protect students from this potentially fatal bacterial infection.[5] Interfaith prayer serviceOn the evening of December 16, 2012, Newtown High School was the scene of a prayer service commemorating the twenty children and six adults killed by Adam Lanza during the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting on December 14, 2012. Lanza had previously attended Newtown High School through the tenth grade.[6] President Barack Obama delivered a reflection at the end of the service. Connecticut Governor Dan Malloy offered some thoughts prior to the President's remarks. The entire service was broadcast nationwide on CNN.[7] Extracurricular activitiesThe Newtown High School mascot and athletic emblem is the Nighthawk with blue and gold serving as the school colors. AthleticsThe Newtown Nighthawks compete in the Colonial Division of the South West Conference. All SWC schools are members of the Connecticut Interscholastic Athletic Conference.[8] The Nighthawks participate in cheerleading, cross country, field hockey, football, soccer, swimming, volleyball, basketball, ice hockey, indoor track, wrestling, baseball, golf, lacrosse, softball, tennis, and track. Until 1996, the school's teams were called "The Indians;" they featured an Indian mascot. This was changed among controversy of the mascot being racist in nature. In 1996, local Connecticut students, all native American and actively involved with their culture, visited Newtown High School and explained that the pep rally and game activities—the war chants, tomahawk chants, the Indian costumes and dancing—trivialize religious customs. Representatives from other local tribes explained that mascots should not depict a race or ethnic group because it is dehumanizing.[9] They were renamed the Newtown Nighthawks.[10] Marching band and color guardThe Newtown High School marching band, called the Marching Nighthawks, is currently a Class IV Open marching band made up 70 musicians and 19 color guard members under the direction of Kurt Eckhardt. Back in 1995, the marching band performed at the Tournament of Roses Parade in Pasadena, CA. The band earned 3 straight Musical Arts Conference Class IV championships in 2005, 2006, and 2007, won the USSBA 2006 Class IV Connecticut State Championship, placed in the top 10 in the USSBA 2007 Group IV National Championship,[11] claimed the title of Musical Arts Conference Class IV Champion in 2011, and were the USSBA 2011 Group V Open Connecticut State Champion, where the color guard was ranked #1 overall. In 2012 and 2013, the band was the USBands Group V Open Connecticut State Champion. In 2015, the marching band came in third place at the USBands Group V Open National Championship winning the caption of "Best Music" with their show "Pharaoh's Legacy." In 2016, the marching band won the Group V Open Connecticut State Championship with their show "Something Wicked This Way Comes–Dark's Pandemonium Carnival." In 2017, the marching band had an undefeated season and won the USBands Group IV Open New England States Championship and the USBands Group IV Open National Championship with the captions of "Best Overall Effect" and "Best Percussion" with their show "Dystopia." This was the school's first national championship and record score of 97.363. In 2018, the marching band came in third place at the USBands Group IV Open National Championship winning the captions of "Best Music" and "Best Percussion" with their show "The Climb."
