History

The first high school building in Hudson was built in 1867, [4] only one year after the town itself was incorporated. The building, located on High Street, was used as the high school until 1882. After that it was used as an elementary school for a number of years. The two-story wood building still stands, now housing the Hudson Animal Hospital.

The second high school, a two-story brick building known as the Felton Street School, was completed in 1882 and served as the high school until 1956. It was then used as a grade school for some time until being remodeled into a condominium complex. It is still standing [4] and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.

A new high school was built in 1956 on Packard Street after the Felton Street School became too small. This new building was used as the high school until 1970, when it was replaced. It was the town's middle school for a short time [4] and was renamed the Carmela A. Farley School after a long-time Hudson teacher. The school became an elementary school and was remodeled in 1999. Its main entrance is now on Cottage Street.

The building that replaced the one on Packard Street was completed in 1970 [4] and was located on Brigham Street. It served as the high school until about 2004, when it was knocked down and replaced by a modern multimillion-dollar school.

The newest and current Hudson High School building was finished in 2004, replacing the 1970 high school located on the same Brigham Street site. In order to construct the new building it was built behind the previous building, where school was kept in session during construction. Once construction of the new building finished, the old building was demolished and a new parking lot built in its stead. The former parking lot was also demolished to make way for a practice football field. In addition to the practice field, six renovated tennis courts, two baseball/softball fields, and a clubhouse for the Hudson High School Athletics Booster Club were also built as part of the project.

Hudson High School has a counseling program to assist students in reaching their academic potential. [5] The school also offers comprehensive courses in the following areas of study:

School Choice

Hudson High School participates in the Massachusetts School Choice Program. [9] This program allows students residing in neighboring towns to attend Hudson High School, and for students residing in Hudson to attend public high school in other towns.

Athletics

Hudson High School's athletic teams are known as the Hudson Hawks, and the school's mascot is the Hudson Hawk. [10] Hudson's longtime athletic rival is the neighboring city of Marlborough, especially in football. Every Thanksgiving the two rivals compete in a "Turkey Day" football game, alternating home-field advantage each year. Hudson has not won a Turkey Day game since 2010 and has not won one at home since 2005. The rivalry traces its origins back to at least 1906. [11]

In 2012 the Hudson boys' varsity hockey team went 23-1-1 to capture the MIAA State Championship, defeating Medway at the TD Garden by a score of 5-1. [12]

Currently Hudson High School fields 19 teams in the following sports:
