Built in 1894, as Quincy's first high school, Central Middle School now serves 600 children in grades 6-8. Ground will be dug soon for a new $50 million school to replace this one. You can see a design of the new building here.
The new location will be a couple blocks away where St. Ann's School waits for demolition.The new school is projected to open in the fall, 2013.

It makes me sad that St. Ann's is being razed, even though I have no personal connection to it. I did take my daughter there a few times to bowl with her fellow Girl Scouts, and went to a few playgroups that were held in some of their spaces... a lot of memories there for the families that went to St. Ann's.
"Three cheers for Central, my Junior High...." (circa 1960's). I loved this school. Sad to hear it will be demolished......although they were talking about doing it back then!
Just found out my beloved Blue Hill Riding Academy was torn down.....which I was so attached to that the news of its demise feels like a death in the family.
Thank you for the photographic memories of my hometown.
i don't understand why I'm so sad that Central is being torn down. It always seemed like such a grim building.
Never the less, I miss the days when school was serious business.
