Regular classes are aimed at a wide range of students with different academic abilities.

Scranton High School opened its doors on the corner of Vine Street and Washington Avenue.

The following year, Central closed, and its students were sent to the former Technical and West Scranton High School.

Its principals have been Albert T. Karam (August 1991 – June 2002), Robert McTiernan (August 2002 – October 2006), Bryan McGraw (November 2006 – November 2009), Eric Schaeffer (December 2009 – May 2012), and John Coyle (July 2012 – present).

Students must also pass the Pennsylvania System of School Assessment (PSSAs) in reading, writing, science, and mathematics with a level of at least "proficient" to graduate.

Scranton School District offers a variety of clubs, activities and sports.

The school occasionally offers intramural sports and events such as volleyball tournaments.
