Renovations/Building History
In 2002, citizens voted to have Glastonbury High School renovated. The renovation was completed as of September, 2007. New science labs and classrooms were added to the school and various other improvements were made to the school building. The old science wing, auditorium, gym facilities, and field house received major renovations, and the library and cafeteria each received an addition. The renovation increased the capacity of the school from 1,500 students to 2,300 students.
The Glastonbury Education Foundation funded a state-of-the-art Digital Television studio in May, 2008.
Glastonbury High School was built in 1952 (Wings B, E, and F), and has received the following:
- 1956: Additional classroom wing (Older part of C wing)
- 1971: (Former) science wing (Newer part of C wing), gymnasium, and auditorium were built
- 1991: Additional classroom wing constructed (D wing) and renovations done to the building
- 2007: Added a Science Wing (A wing), additional renovations done to the building (particularly the former science wing - newer part of C wing)
Prior to 1952, Glastonbury High School was housed in what is now the town hall, at the former Academy School.

Famous quotes containing the words building and/or history:
“No: until I want the protection of Massachusetts to be extended to me in some distant Southern port, where my liberty is endangered, or until I am bent solely on building up an estate at home by peaceful enterprise, I can afford to refuse allegiance to Massachusetts, and her right to my property and life. It costs me less in every sense to incur the penalty of disobedience to the State than it would to obey. I should feel as if I were worth less in that case.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“As History stands, it is a sort of Chinese Play, without end and without lesson.”
—Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)
