Great school, Great teachers and Great students. I have learned many things at this school.The facility itself is a little ruff, but that doesn't stop you from getting your education. The administration here is also great! They make sure students are safe and getting the education that they need!

I have attended this school all four years of my high school career. I don’t think I would choose any other school to attend other than central. If you are a good student and do your work like you’re supposed to, so many opportunities will be given to you. They offer countless clubs and activities to participate in. I was able to build my resume with these opportunities, and would still love to do more.
I made some good friends there, and while there are some absolutely OUTSTANDING teachers there, there are also some sub par ones. They do not allocate enough funding to the arts, and the school is practically falling apart since the school board will not send any money. It is a decent school, and I enjoyed most of my time there, but there are better ones out there. That being said, I would not change my Alma Mater for the world.
