I love my school and have a lot of school spirit, just like everyone should! All of the teachers and staff are so nice and easy to talk to. They make it easy to schedule after school tutoring as well! There are multiple resources for almost anything you need! But, there are some things that could be made better. Our building is old, and needs some renovations, but it’s really cool to see all of the old wood work!
Though it was not perfect, I have enjoyed my four years at Central High School a lot. One of the best parts about my experience was the classroom and the great teachers that I've had. They were good helping me grow as a learner, but they were even better at helping me as a person. This also leads to the great spirit and traditions we had at Central. We were not the powerhouse in our conference in sports or academics, but our pride was still strong. Pep assemblies, football games, and homecoming all had amazing turnouts and made me proud to be an Indian. Our school is not all perfect, though. The building is over 100 years old, and a good portion does not have air conditioning. The classrooms, bathrooms, and interior are all outdated. This is an issue that our community is working to resolve, but at the moment is still a large issue. Nonetheless, my experience at Central has been amazing, and I will never forget it.
I enjoyed the overall education I received from Central High school. Most of the teachers genuinely care about the students, want to see them succeed and teach the information well. There were quite a few teachers that this seemed to be the opposite for. The fine arts are good. The annual school musical is also well directed and made, Big Fish being spectacular. Most of the students are not nice, overall school culture is not very good. Being rude and not caring about others seems to be the social standard.
