Coming into 2024, Warren Central will have educated students for 100 years, and this year’s group of seniors will be the school’s 100th graduating class.
While the actual construction of the school started in 1924, the doors wouldn’t open for students until July 12, 1925, according to Principal Masimba Rusununguko-Taylor. Thus, there are multiple years of celebration to ensue.
“It speaks to the longevity of our commitment of providing the best education to all students,” Taylor said. “Throughout these 100 years we continue as a school to meet our challenges head on, and as a result we continue to get better with time.”
Taylor confirmed that while a lot of celebrations are to come this year, plenty more will be had in the next school year as well.
“The biggest thing is we want to highlight how we have evolved as a school,” Taylor said.
From physical changes to the building and grounds, to the size of the student body, Warren Central has definitely changed in the last century.
Though Warren Central's mission is to educate and prepare students for the world. There is no doubt that the school gives staff memories and a community to look forward to.
“It continues to be a great experience,” Taylor said. “I am growing and learning from students, staff, and the community daily. My time here continues to be rewarding and I look forward to many more years of being the proud principal of WCHS.”
