This week, we joined dozens of community members as we cut the ribbon on the new Central Falls High School. Here’s what we took away from this big moment for our city:

-Alumni ARE HERE. Five speakers during the event spoke about their pride as a fellow alumni and the power of being a Warrior.
-Our kids DESERVE THIS. For too long, students have dealt with a building that lacked the care and basic needs they deserved. That changes now.
-Our community sees THE WEIGHT of this moment. A new building means future generations (some of whom aren’t even alive yet) will learn and experience a building that inspires them to dream big and dream fierce.
-Community in CF is REAL. Shout out to all of the alum who joined to watch this moment, including a fellow alumnus from the class of 1963!! We felt the love and know you feel it too.

Let’s do this, Warriors!!
