 Dear Friends::
This is an exciting week as more than 22,000 young people go back to school in New Haven. Coming off of a very successful 2007-2008 school year with a record-breaking graduating class of more than 1,000 and impressive CMT and CAPT scores, we’re looking forward to going above and beyond in this new academic year. Thursday, when our schools open their doors to students and families, we will be celebrating the grand opening of two state-of-the-art facilities: the Columbus Family Academy and the Augusta Lewis Troup School.

Our morning will begin on Thursday with a procession into the Troup School at 8:35 a.m. led by the Second Company Governor’s Foot Guard featuring our very own, Captain Bryan Kearney, of the New Haven Police Department, singing the Star Spangled Banner. A celebration at the Columbus School will follow at 10 a.m. as students enjoy an exciting rally to celebrate their brand new school in the heart of the Fair Haven community. At the Columbus celebration, students will accept donations from two community groups and businesses of supplies for their building.

This event will take place at Troup School, a newly renovated building that will open to students the day following this event. Troup is named for Mrs. Augusta Lewis Troup who was a pioneer for rights in the workplace. This event is scheduled to take place at 4 p.m. on Wednesday, September 3rd.
