The city’s newest high school was built in 1922 at 25 Ridgefield Street. It was named in tribute to Hartford School Superintendent Thomas Snell Weaver (1845-1922).
On June 21, 1924 a memorial tablet to Mr. Weaver was unveiled in the lobby of the Ridgefield Street School. Given by the teachers and school children of Hartford it was designed by Louis A. Goldenrod of Meriden.
In the late 1960’s the Hartford Board of Education began planning for new modern school buildings including a new Bulkeley High School on Wethersfield Avenue and a new Weaver High School on Granby Street.
The architects of both schools were Caudill Rowlett and Scott. The new Weaver High School has five floors and 382,250 square feet, to accommodate 2,600 students.
Weaver High School opened on September 9, 1974.
