Hudson High School (HHS) is a public high school located inHudson,Massachusetts, United States. It is administered by theHudson Public Schools system and serves grades 8 through 12. The current principal is Lauren Pupecki.
The first high school building in Hudson was built in 1867,[4] only one year after the town itself was incorporated. The building, located on High Street, was used as the high school until 1882. After that it was used as an elementary school for a number of years. The two-storywood building still stands, now housing the Hudson Animal Hospital.
The second high school, a two-storybrick building known as theFelton Street School, was completed in 1882 and served as the high school until 1956. It was then used as a grade school for some time until being remodeled into acondominium complex. It is still standing[4] and was added to theNational Register of Historic Places in 1986.
A new high school was built in 1956 on Packard Street after the Felton Street School became too small. This new building was used as the high school until 1970, when it was replaced. It was the town'smiddle school for a short time[4] and was renamed the Carmela A. Farley School after a long-time Hudson teacher. The school became an elementary school and was remodeled in 1999. Its main entrance is now on Cottage Street.
The building that replaced the one on Packard Street was completed in 1970[4] and was located on Brigham Street. It served as the high school until about 2004, when it was knocked down and replaced by a modern multimillion-dollar school.
The newest and current Hudson High School building was finished in 2004, replacing the 1970 high school located on the same Brigham Street site. In order to construct the new building it was built behind the previous building, where school was kept in session during construction. Once construction of the new building finished, the old building was demolished and a new parking lot built in its stead. The former parking lot was also demolished to make way for a practicefootball field. In addition to the practice field, six renovated tenniscourts, two baseball/softball fields, and a clubhouse for the Hudson High School AthleticsBooster Club were also built as part of the project.
