Cambridge Rindge and Latin is the only public high school in Cambridge, MA. 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. The school is host to over 2000 students from various nationalities. Nickname: City of Squares Official website: www. ...


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: This article is about the year 2000. ...

  • Pilot,
  • Fundamental,
  • House A,
  • Leadership Academy, and
  • Rindge School of Technical Arts (RSTA).

In 1990, RSTA became a "house" within the main CRLS school. The "Houses" then became "Small Schools" 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 (before School 4 was removed just prior to the 2004-2005 school year). 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. 2005 (MMV) was a common year starting on Saturday of the Gregorian calendar. ...

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 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. Harvard University (incorporated as The President and Fellows of Harvard College) is a private university in Cambridge, Massachusetts. ...

“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.” [1]

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. Frederick Hastings Rindge (1857-1905) was a Californian businessman, philanthropist, and writer, and major benefactor to his home town of Cambridge, Massachusetts. ...

Athletics

Athletics have always played a major part in the school's extracurricular activity structure, and most of the school's 30 teams have received statewide recognition of excellence in some form or another. The 11 Fall and Winter sports take place between September and Thanksgiving Day (the Football team's final game); and the first Monday following Thanksgiving and February/March, respectively. The 10 Spring sports start on the third Monday in March, and finish in late May. The teams are supported by the fund-raising efforts of Friends of Cambridge Athletics (FOCA) who sell Cambridge Athletics-branded clothing to subsidize the teams. The school's rowing rivalry with Cambridge private school Buckingham Browne & Nichols continues with an annual eights race, the Mayor's Cup Regatta.
