A Farewell to
Flint Central High School
On June 12, 2009,
The
Flint Central High School Alumni Association
scheduled a farewell gathering on the last day of
school at Flint Central before it's ultimate closing. All Flint
Central Alumni were invited to tour Central and join in
the activities happening that day. We were able to
remember the pride of being a Flint Central Indian and
Phoenix. As we walked through the old building, if was
different on the inside, hall ways were changed and it
definitely looked smaller. The outside was still as
beautiful as it was during my time at Central, but yes,
it needed some TLC in regards to repair. Forty five
years had taken it's toll on what I remembered. We
joined with other classmates and walked the hallways
together and remembered the good ole days. We
talked about the teachers and how they had affected our
lives.
At the
conclusion of the event a large group gathered of past and
present members of the Flint Central "A Cappella Choir"
and many others who joined in on
the front lawn of the school grounds and sang our beloved benediction, "The Lord Bless You and
Keep You" to our beloved school.
It was a sad and meaningful day and I am
glad I took the opportunity to be part of it.
Do you have any thoughts you would like to share?

chance when he can now!!!
