[edit] History

In the early years of Levittown, a Roman Catholic high school was constructed to educate local teenagers. To accommodate Levittown's fast-growing population in the fifties and sixties, the school was eventually split. The girls stayed in the original building, attending Bishop Conwell High School. A new, much larger building was built to school the boys and was named Bishop Egan High School. Over the years, students from other areas began being bused to the schools as well. However, with decreasing enrollment and increasing tuition, the two schools merged once again in 1993 and became known as Conwell-Egan Catholic High School (CEC). The present day school is located in the former Bishop Egan building. The former Bishop Conwell building was demolished after standing empty for several years. Former president George H. W. Bush visited the school during his presidency.^{[citation needed]}
