Campus

Hamden High School's historic main building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in December 1994.

Hamden High has four main wings. These are the A, B, C, and D wings. Each wing is sometimes called by a nickname. A is the "Dixwell Side", B is the "Parkway Side", D is the "Chili's Side", and C is the "Backyard" and is the only side with four accessible floors. The C wing has an auditorium and gym on its first floor. A public pool is in the C-Wing basement. On the second floor is the Cafe and School Store. The library is located on the first floor A-Wing with the Career Center located just above it. The school restaurant is located on the first floor D-wing. In the middle of HHS, there is a courtyard, which students usually use as a thru-way. The A wing is generally for the social sciences and humanities, B wing for English and Science classes, C wing for lecture halls, chemistry, physics and some miscellaneous offices, and D wing for math, foreign languages and technical studies. The school's culinary arts program is located in the D wing. The first floor's B and C wings are noted as being the HQ for the HHS Art classes, the B wing primarily for visual arts such as ceramics or graphic design, and the C wing for the performing arts; acting, concert band, orchestra, and choir.
