Gymnasium Rededicated

Clairton High School Gymnasium Rededicated to Honor Late VP

The Bears Den has a new name at Clairton High School. The gymnasium was rededicated on May 15th in memory of the late school board vice president, Paulette A. Bradford.

"The room is a little emptier this evening than it should be," middle and high school principal Thomas McCloskey said to open the 2nd Annual Clairton High School All-Sports Athletic Banquet. "Paulette Bradford was a driving force in our community," board president Richard Livingston said, before revealing a plaque that will remind visitors of her service of 17 years on the Clairton City school board — 12 of them as vice president.

Paulette Bradford died April 7 at age 69. "Paulette was just a person who loved people," said school board member Gloria Ruffing, a Morning Star Baptist Church minister. "She had an unconditional love for the school and sports because everything involved the kids."
