Thank you for this opportunity to reflect upon Mid- dletown High School. As a former student at Middletown High, it is with mixed emotions that witness the closing of doors on a facility which has served the City and surrounding communities for three quarters of a century. All who were privileged to have attended Middletown High School should never forget that this school is the oldest and first High School in the State of Connecti- cut. I'm sure that many citizens in the Middlesex County will agree with me that Middletown High holds many fond memories which filled our lived during those important years. I can vividly recall the enthusiasm and excitement generated in me the first day I attended Middletown High. feel that among both the students and faculty, legends were born in M iddletown High and will re- main forever. Despite the sadness in closing an era in the City's his- tory. it is with pride that we can look to the opening of the new Middletown High School with the sincere wish that it too will play a meaningful role in the lives of our young adults.
