Ninth Grade Center
The Ninth Grade Center was established as part of an effort to lessen the crowding at Colonial High School's main campus. In 2006, the campus finished a renovation process, complete with new classrooms, offices, basketball courts, lockers, a gymnasium and a cafeteria. The students can also take a bus over to main campus after school for sports, drama, and other extra curricular activities. The gym was dedicated to Robert C. Allen, Jr., the Principal of the Center for many years.
