The West Babylon School District recently celebrated the opening of their new fitness center at the high school. This state-of-the-art facility is used throughout and after the school day by student athletes and by adult education classes at night. The equipment was received through a grant approved by the federal government and will further enhance the district's measures in support of physical fitness.
