A message to the Central High School community

Good evening to our students, families and staff at Central High School:

The entire Central High community is to be commended for its extraordinary cooperation and collaboration during the unfortunate incident on Friday, September 7, 2018.

It is important to acknowledge that our students’ character and resilience was tested during a prolonged difficult situation, and they more than exceeded expectations. For that, I thank them, their parents and the teachers who facilitated a safe and calm response to a challenging situation. 

I appreciate the exemplary dedication of our teachers, staff and the administrative team, lead by Principal Vaccarezza, in addition to the Manchester Police Department, lead by Police Chief Capano, the Manchester Transit Authority (MTA), Easter Seals Special Transit Services (STS), Manchester School District Food Services, and the administrators from across our district who contributed to the efforts needed during the secure campus at Central High School.  

Rest assured that our collective efforts to ensure the safety of our children and faculty take precedence above all else, and we will always do everything in our power to keep our students and staff safe. Our ongoing collaboration with the Manchester Police Department and the entire community is instrumental in achieving this objective.  

I wish you a great start to the school week, and I thank you again for your extraordinary effort and commitment for the well being of the Central High School community.

Sincerely,
Dr. Bolgen Vargas

Superintendent of Schools
