School History
Seton Catholic Central was built in 1962 at 70 Seminary Ave in Binghamton and opened as Catholic Central High School in 1963. When the school merged as Seton Catholic Central High School in 1976, it housed students from both Catholic Central High School in Binghamton and Seton Catholic High School in Endicott, New York. The schools had to merge because of declining enrollments and a deficit. The Sisters of Charity, who staffed Seton, and the Sisters of St. Joseph, who staffed Catholic Central, were moved to the new school to be the main part of the faculty with Reverend VanAmburgh as the principal.
The class of 1977 was the first graduating class from Seton Catholic Central and had 281 members in it. Classes included math, science, English, foreign language (including Spanish), physical education, social studies, and business. Popular activities for students included chorus, newspaper, ski club, Marian Association, Key Club, mission club, pep club, bowling, and basketball.
In 2011, Seton Catholic Central High School became Seton Catholic Central when it opened its doors to students in 7th and 8th grades. Today Seton Catholic Central has students in grades 7- 12 and has approximately 355 students. The school offers many class options for all learning levels, as well as many sports and activities for all students. Students from all over the Binghamton area attend the school, as well as international students from places such as Germany, Italy and Asia.
