The teams at Newburyport high school are named "The Clippers", after the ships that used to be made in the shipyards. This intricately detailed weathervane is atop the cupola over the main building of the school.
The current building of the Newburyport high school was built in 1935. The campus was designed by the architect Edwin Dodge (1874 - 1938), a native of Newburyport who graduated from MIT in 1897 and the Ecole Nationale Superierure de Beaux Arts in Paris in 1902. The Newburyport High School was founded in 1889 when the Female High School (1843) merged with the Putnam Free School (1838).
