Warren Harding High School is a public high school in Bridgeport, Connecticut, that opened its doors to students on September 9, 1925, after its cornerstone was laid on May 10, 1924. The school was named in honor of Warren G. Harding, the 29th President of the United States, who passed away shortly before its construction. Harding, a member of the Republican Party, was one of the most beloved sitting U.S. presidents, serving from 1921 until his death in 1923.
Designed by C. Wellington Walker, the original school featured elegant Georgian style architecture and striking Greek columns. The school was in operation for 93 years, producing a few NBA basketball players despite ranking in the bottom 50% of all schools in Connecticut for overall test scores.
In 2018, a new school was built on a former General Electric factory site at a cost of $107 million. The four-story, 207,000 square feet (19,200 m2) structure was equipped with top-of-the-line security features such as bulletproof glass and 130 security cameras. This new school was designed to provide a superior learning environment and enhanced safety measures to the students attending Harding High School in hopes of imroving its rank.
The old school has now been left abandoned with no future plans as of 2023, it now sits as a timecapsule and a relic of the past for all who attended.
