Rippowam School

Rippowam High School was once a public high school in Stamford, Connecticut, United States. The school opened in the fall of 1961 as the second high school in the city. The school derived its name from the Native American tribe that inhabited Stamford and the surrounding area before European settlement. The school mascot name was the "Warriors", and the school colors were green and white. The name of its annual yearbook was "Riptide".[1]

Rippowam High School closed after the 1982-1983 school year and reopened as the Rippowam Cluster High School[2]. After the closing of the Cluster High School, the building was used for adult education, temporary locations for both the Hart Elementary School and the Magnet Middle School, which became Scofield Magnet Middle School upon its move in 2001 to its permanent site on Scofieldtown Road (the former campus of the University of Connecticut, Stamford Campus) in North Stamford. Since 2001 its campus has been the permanent site of Rippowam Middle School.

The Academy of Information Technology and Engineering (AITE), a regional magnet high school that formerly shared the building with Rippowam Middle School, has occupied its own building behind Rippowam since August 2007.

Rippowam Middle School has a large auditorium, which it still shares with the AITE, and is home to its own drama group. It is also the host school for the city of Stamford's All School Musical that involves every school in the city. The school's current mascot, the Raptor, was decided by popular vote in its first year as a middle school by the first class of sixth graders.

gollark: Still, a 3060 would at least let me run ~billion-parameter language models, which can be quite good.
gollark: I do want one for ML purposes, but there are limits to what you can do on *any* reasonable consumer GPU nowadays, and I'd have to replace my server (or at least the PSU?) to run anything over 75W.
gollark: How much you should pay is obviously very dependent on how much you value money and how much you value the GPU.
gollark: I'm not particularly attached to the MSRP, but I wouldn't *personally* buy a 3060 Ti unless it was very cheap because I don't have much use for a GPU right now.
gollark: I think prices have been going down for ??? crypto reasons.
