Central High School Alumni Garden to be dedicated Friday

CHAMPAIGN – Pause a moment outside Central High School and have a seat on one of the benches at the southwest corner of the school. In the spring, enjoy the maroon and white flowers planted there, and check out the new electronic sign to see what events are happening at the school.

The new Alumni Garden was put in this summer and fall, and it will be dedicated Friday at 3:30 p.m. The public is invited.
