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:
“... what’s been building since the 1980’s is a new kind of social Darwinism that blames poverty and crime and the crisis of our youth on a breakdown of the family. That’s what will last after this flurry on family values.”
—Stephanie Coontz (b. 1944)
“The second day of July 1776, will be the most memorable epoch in the history of America. I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated by succeeding generations as the great anniversary festival. It ought to be commemorated, as the day of deliverance, by solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires and illuminations, from one end of this continent to the other, from this time forward forever more”
—John Adams (1735–1826)
