CINCINNATI - Students within the Cincinnati Public School district are already enjoying the new Taft Information Technology High School, and Thursday, the school will officially be dedicated.

The building includes $18.4 million state-of-the-art Community Learning Center that's designed to serve students, families and community members both during and beyond the traditional school day.

An official dedication for the new building takes place at 10 a.m. in the West End on Ezzard Charles Drive.

Students will give reflections, as well as vocal and jazz performances.

Around 600 students have been enjoying the 3-story facility, which includes ceiling-to-floor windows, nine computer labs and a green roof.
