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:

Famous quotes containing the words building and/or history:
“We have our little theory on all human and divine things. Poetry, the workings of genius itself, which, in all times, with one or another meaning, has been called Inspiration, and held to be mysterious and inscrutable, is no longer without its scientific exposition. The building of the lofty rhyme is like any other masonry or bricklaying: we have theories of its rise, height, decline and fall—which latter, it would seem, is now near, among all people.”
—Thomas Carlyle (1795–1881)
“What we call National-Socialism is the poisonous perversion of ideas which have a long history in German intellectual life.”
—Thomas Mann (1875–1955)
