    Center Hill High School is just what it's most famous slogan says, Mustang Pride! Center Hill goes above and beyond to give opportunities to every student in the building. The school continues to add classes, clubs, and much more for all the current and future students that continue to pour in. Administrators and staff are heavily devoted to the betterment of the students and their environment. The only improvement would be more traditions for years to come.

    The good most definitely outweighs the bad, but I must say that Centerhill has molded me into the great young lady I am now! The teachers I’ve had are the greatest, and they don’t mind helping! The environment is utterly positive, which aid students to do great academically.
    My experience at Center Hill was a fairly good one. High school is nothing like it is in the movies, but Center Hill made you feel like you were always the main character. If not with the friendships I built with my peers, then with the support and care from my teachers. Center Hill always felt like a second home with the roar of the crowd during soccer games, sounded like a normal Tuesday night at my house. My favorite thing about Center Hill would be the emotional care that the teachers provide for their students, counselor Danielle Brown was always there when you needed her most. Without her I honestly don't know I would have survived. The only thing I would change about Center Hill would be the fact that we didn't host any dances. Personally, I am a person who loves to groove and would have loved to experience a high school dance. I know that school dances put a strain on already stressed out teachers but it would have been sweet.
