RHAM High School (Regional Hebron, Andover, and Marlborough) is a regional, public high school located in Hebron, Connecticut, United States. Students from the Region 8 public school area of Connecticut, which includes Marlborough and Andover, attend the school. There are 69 teachers, for a 1:12 teacher to student ratio.
Overview
RHAM is always spelled in capital letters. The initials represent “Regional Hebron, Andover, and Marlborough,” the three towns that comprise the State of Connecticut’s Regional School District No. 8. The Region 8 School District was formed and ground broken for the first school building in 1956. Classes started on September 6, 1957.
In 1970, an addition was completed which provided the technology education wing, the art area, a new library, and an auxiliary gymnasium and locker room facility. In 1984, a second renovation of the high school facility began and was subsequently completed in the fall of 1985.
In July 2000 ground was broken for the current High School, which was opened in February 2002.
The school colors are blue and gold, and the athletic teams are known as the Sachems, the name of Native American Indian Chiefs of the Algonquin tribe.
Suburban Youth Violence
School Violence
Although the school has been noted for its high standards of education, as well as its suburban location, RHAM has increasingly become a prime example of growing violence in suburban neighborhoods. The problem, which began as small isolated incidents, eventually exploded onto the scene in spring of 2008. At approximately 12:30 pm, a large fight broke out in the school's expansive cafeteria. It was later determined that the fight was between two rival cliques, known as "THB" (Tree House Bandits) and the "580". While faculty and staff tried to pull students away from the brawl, police began to intervene. The dispute, which began verbally, resulted in minor injuries to a state trooper and an assistant school principal and the arrest of nine students. According to one faculty member, who spoke anonymously, the fight "represents a growing problem here, of young suburban students who think that having a laughable fight is an expression of bravado."
