I came across this profile of our school at Answers.com: Central High School
(Philadelphia).
Central High School holds the distinction of being the only high school in the United States that has the authority, granted by an Act of Assembly in 1849, to confer academic degrees upon its graduates. This practice is still in effect, and graduates who meet the requirements are granted the Bachelor of Arts degree. Central also confers high school diplomas upon graduates who do not meet the requirement for a degree.
Check out the fourth paragraph from the top where someone snuck in a little dig at Dr. Pavel.
Central, due to its authority to grant academic degrees, traditionally refers to the principal of the school as the “President” of Central High School. The current president is Dr. Shelly.
Can you find anything else out of place in this article?
