History
Field High School opened in 1961, following the consolidation of the Suffield and Brimfield school districts in 1959 to create the Field Local School District.[2] Previously, high school students from Suffield attended Suffield High School at the Suffield Township School. Brimfield students attended the Brimfield Township School up to 8th grade but attended the Kent State University School for high school. Athletic teams were originally known as the Big Red, which had been the team name for Suffield High School. "Falcons" was adopted in 1976 when the school joined the Metropolitan League in sports.[3]
