Notable alumni

Bartlett School

Robert Bartlett, a New London resident who died in 1678, willed that all his property be used to benefit public education. The Bartlett Grammar School was named in his honor, and renamed in 1855 to Bartlett High School.[6] The high school was used until 1873 when it was replaced by the Bulkeley School which operated from 1873 to 1951.[7] In 1896, the Robert E. Bartlett Grammar School, located at 216 Broad Street was established[8] and named after the founder of the "old Bartlett High School".[9] The building was repurposed in 1951 when other district schools were merged to form the New London High School.[8] The building is presently under private ownership and used as an office building.[10]
