It's no secret that the prime real estate that is home to the now vacant Central High School is for sale, but measures to sell the property have been taken to the next level.
November 15, 2011 There are a lot of opinions out there in regards to the property where Duluth Central High School is located. Now you can let your voice be heard Wednesday night at 7pm in the Duluth Central auditorium.
The city will seek ideas from the community in a meeting Wednesday to discuss the site’s future use and potential redevelopment. Central — which overlooks Lake Superior from atop a hill — closed last school year as part of the Duluth school district’s long-range facilities plan. Its students were reassigned to Denfeld and East high schools.
May 22, 2011 I grew up in Duluth and I can tell I'm getting older because I soon will have only one school left open. I went to Grant Elementary (still open!), Washington Junior and Duluth Central High School. As Duluth Central prepares to close its doors, I see some great stories reflecting on what it has meant to this community. For me personally it was not only was the school my mom, sisters and I graduated from, it was a place that provided amazing friends and memories that I will have for the rest of my life.
I loved going to Duluth Central because it provided more than an education. I didn't come from the richest family at Central or the poorest, but I became friends with that spectrum of people as Central truly was the melting pot school in the area. Cultural, ethnic and socioeconomic diversity all existed inside Duluth Central High School and we all learned from each other.
