The second West Haven High School opened in 1926 on Main Street and served the city until 1963 when the current building was completed. Shown is the Class of 1935 in their finest on the steps of the Main Street building. The school became overcrowded quickly, prompting school officials in the 1950s to implement double sessions with freshmen attending afternoon classes, while upper classes attended in the morning. The current building had the same problems in the late 1970s, causing school officials to use double sessions again.
