The Cambridge Rindge and Latin School is the only public high school in Cambridge, Massachusetts, United States.
The school, serving grades 9 through 12, is a part of the Cambridge Public Schools.
Once two separate schools called Cambridge High and Latin and the Rindge School of Technical Arts, the merged entity today is now commonly abbreviated as CRLS or Rindge. In 2004-2005 the school hosted 1,883 students from various nationalities.
The students are divided into subdivisions which seem to change name and geography within the building every year. Currently the "Small Learning Communities" are called C, R, L, and S. Previously until June, 2000, the subdivided schools were known as the Houses of Pilot, Fundamental, House A, Academy, Leadership, and the Rindge School of Technical Arts or RSTA.
In 1990, RSTA became a "house" within the main CRLS school. The "Houses" then became "Small Schools" 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. The High School Extension Program, at the site of the old Longfellow School, just down Broadway St., offers a non-traditional approach to the High School learning process, handling only 60–100 students at a time.
History: CRLS is actually several separate schools combined into one greater whole. In 1648, just twelve years after the founding of Harvard University, a school system was set up in Cambridge (then known as Newtowne), marking it the fifth town (after Boston, Charlestown, Dorchester, and Salem) in the Massachusetts Bay Colony to do so. Master Elijah Corlett's "lattin schoole" was born. The school was seen as a supplemental part of Harvard, and gained wide recognition.
“And by the side of the colledge a faire GRAMMAR Schoole, for the training up of young Schollars, and fitting of them for ACADEMICALL LEARNING, that still as they are judged ripe, they may be received into the colledge of this Schoole. Master CORLETT is the Mr., who hath very well approved himselfe for his abilities, dexterity and painfulness in teaching and education of the youth under him.”
Originally Rindge Tech and Cambridge High and Latin, the former began in 1888 by Frederick Hastings Rindge as The Cambridge Manual Training School, and the latter as both Cambridge English High School in 1838 and Cambridge Latin School in 1886, which came together later too and became Cambridge High and Latin. Finally, in 1977, the two schools Rindge Tech and the Cambridge High and Latin High School were merged, with the old Cambridge High and Latin building—then made mostly of wood—being finally torn down in 1980. Today a commemorative archway to the old Cambridge High and Latin building can still be observed on the street corner of Broadway and Ellery Streets overlooking the grassy field area of the Joan Lorentz Park.
