Central have a lot of support from teachers. Every teachers encouraged students to ask questions and build relationship in class. They also create different activities for students to understand the topic of class, which is really helpful for a student like me, who need more explanations to fully understand the topic. Outside of classroom is fulled with fun clubs and programs. I had great time playing softball and Chinese Club. Staffs are also very helpful, who would tell students to study hard and build community. Staffs greets student in the hallway, which is a great way to show kindness and bring joy into the school.
I have on child that graduated and one child still in attending Central. The general academics has been at a very high level for both of my kids who previously attended a gifted and talented school with access to AP, IB and college level classes. My son graduated from Central very well prepared for his first year at a very competitive technical university. The athletics are inconsistent and there is some room for improvement consistent focus and coaching particularly for girls sports. The arts - particularly the music department is first class, with support and educational advantages that equal or exceed most large suburban schools. This is the most diverse high school in the state of MN. The advantages of a diverse and cooperative community are priceless. Resources due to budget issues are a challenge but the schools does well in spite of it. Parent input is considered and there is good parent involvement with booster clubs etc.
Coming into high school is scary for anyone. As an incoming freshman, I was surrounded by many people I didn't know. I spent that year making many new connections that would shape me into the person I am today. The community at Central welcomed me with open arms, and I was so happy to be part of something I would remember for years to come. Although I definitely had my ups and downs with mental health, I was able to have great peers and staff that never failed to be by my side. Being involved with sports helped me find a healthy way to have a positive outlook on my situation as well as making lifelong friendships along the way. All the experiences that have happened to me at my time at Central have made me the person I am today, whether they’re good or bad, and I am forever grateful for it. Even with my senior year being cut short, I was able to have unforgettable memories that I wouldn’t be able to have anywhere else.
