Central High ribbon-cutting shows off makeover

BRIDGEPORT — Until a couple of weeks ago, Central High School could brag that it was the city’s newest high school — cold comfort for a building that opened in 1964. That claim evaporated on Aug. 23, when the ribbon was cut for the new, sleek Harding High School on Boston Avenue. But now Central High on Lincoln Boulevard can say that it, too, is ready to face the 21st century. School a city officials gathered Friday to cut the ribbon on a four-plus-year renovation that overhauled nearly every classroom and created a futuristic library space, a state-of-the-art media center and a new auxiliary gymnasium. “This is an important day for Bridgeport schools and the city of Bridgeport,” said Mayor Joe Ganim.
