Lakeview High School, formerly Wamogo Regional High School is a public school in Litchfield, Connecticut.[3] It serves grades 9 through 12. It is the public high school for the surrounding towns of Litchfield, Morris, Warren, and Goshen. Additionally, students from the towns of Torrington, Terryville, Plymouth, Harwinton, Burlington, and Thomaston can attend if they applied to the Agriculture Education Program for high school students only. Wamogo Regional Middle School was located in the same facility and served grades 7 through 12.[4]
Wamogo was founded in the 1950s. Its name was a portmanteau stemming from the towns Warren, Morris, and Goshen, where the 'Wa' is for Warren, the 'mo' is for Morris, and the 'go' is for Goshen.
Merger
On June 29, 2022, Warren, Morris, Goshen and Litchfield High School voted to merge their school systems, creating a new Region 20. The Wamogo building now serves as the high school for the new region, following the merge in 2024.[5] The sports programs were also merged, with Wamogo losing the "Warriors" branding. The new school mascot became a bobcat.[6]
Although 'Wamogo' remains the name of the school's agricultural program, the high school now goes under the name of Lakeview High School.[7]
Notable alumni
Notable people who have attended Wamogo include former NBA star Chuck Aleksinas and flat track motorcycle racer Kenny Coolbeth.
