Wamogo Regional High School was a public school in Litchfield, Connecticut.[2] It served grades 9 through 12. It was the public high school for the surrounding towns of Morris, Warren, and Goshen. Additionally, students from the towns of Litchfield, Torrington, Terryville, Plymouth, Harwinton, Burlington, and Thomaston could 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 6 through 8.[3]
Wamogo was founded in the 1950s. Its name is 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.
Notable people who have attended Wamogo include former NBA star Chuck Aleksinas and flat track motorcycle racer Kenny Coolbeth.
On June 29, 2022, Warren, Morris, Goshen and Litchfield 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.[4]
Although 'Wamogo' remains the name of the school's agricultural program, the High School now goes under the name of Lakeview High School.[5]
