The TruMark Financial Center, known as the Hayman Center until 2017, is the indoor athletic arena on La Salle University's campus. It is located directly across a walkway from the St. Francis and St. Edwards residence complex. The building was opened in February 1998 from a very large donation from Harry Blake Hayman I. The building was dedicated in the name of his parents; a plaque was placed on the front, inside beside the main doors. Located on the first floor of the building is the main gameday concourse and the six-lane, 25-yard pool area. The TruMark Financial Center hosted the 2007 Philadelphia Catholic League and Public League swimming championships. The second floor is home to the La Salle University Athletic Department and team offices. Also located on the second floor is the Mezzanine level, which overlooks the main entrance. It is only accessible from the main entrance. The third floor houses Tom Gola Arena, the 4,000-seat basketball/volleyball/intramural sports facility. Located in the basement are the team locker rooms, the equipment room, the training and weight rooms and a single squash court. On Monday, April 24, 2017, it was announced that the Hayman Center would be renamed the TruMark Financial Center after its sponsor, one of the region's largest credit unions.

Central High School (Philadelphia)
Central High School (Philadelphia)

Central High School is a public high school in the Logan section of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Central, the second-oldest continuously used public high school in the United States, was founded in 1836 and is a four-year university preparatory magnet school. About 2,400 students attend grades 9 through 12. It consistently ranks among the top schools in the city and state. Central is regarded as one of the top public schools in the nation due to its high academic standards. This school requires exceptional grades for enrollment.Central High School is the only high school in the United States with authority, granted by an Act of Assembly in 1849, to confer academic degrees upon its graduates. This practice is still in effect, and graduates who meet the requirements are granted the Bachelor of Arts degree. Central also confers high school diplomas upon graduates who do not meet a bachelor's degree requirement. Due to its authority to grant academic degrees, Central traditionally refers to the principal of the school as the "President" of Central High School. The current incoming President is Katharine Davis, the school’s first woman and person of color to hold the position. Central, rather than using a general class year to identify its classes (as in "class of 2022"), uses the class graduating number system (as in "281st graduating class" or "281"). This tradition started shortly after the school's founding when it was common to have two graduating classes per year – one in January and one in June. In June 1965, semiannual graduations were replaced by annual graduations. As of the 2021-2022 school year, the current senior class is 281.
