Students were officially allowed into the new Charlestown High School on January 4, 2010.
[2] The new state-of-the-art facility includes a massive Wireless Internet network, a smart board in every classroom, a new athletic complex, new baseball and softball fields, a much larger cafeteria, a much larger library, and could hold a total of 1050 students.
The school also included its own filtration system which is said to have some of the cleanest water in the City of Charlestown.
Many students changed from using text books in every class to using online textbooks and teachers began to use digital copies of assignments and study guides within their classrooms.
A notable thing for the 2010 School Year was the fact that the graduation rate went up a substantial amount, and was up to almost 80%.
Over 90% of Charlestown's Seniors had applied to college, been accepted into a vocational program or enlisted to a military branch.
