lights in 1998 for night football and soccer games. Campus 2011 saw the introduction of a new Junior High program. The school housed a 7th and 8th grade for the first time in its history. The project necessitated multiple renovations to the building. The school converted former art classrooms into multi-purpose classrooms for the new grades and made the former weight room into the library; the current weight room sits where the stage used to be, next to the main gym. Although the junior and senior high schools are mostly segregated, certain high-school-level courses are available for 8th graders. Athletics The athletics program at Greensburg Central Catholic is one of the most successful in the state of Pennsylvania. The school has won three state championships and countless WPIAL titles.
