My freshman year was amazing. The next year was horrible because of Covid-19. My 11th-grade year was alright. My senior year had fun with my friends. Overall my high school experience was good and I'm going to miss it a lil bit.

I like how involved the teachers and administration are with the students. They want to make sure that we succeed in life after high school.

I love the amount of opportunities to be involved. There are many clubs to be apart of and many extracurricular activities to participate in. One thing I would like to see changed at Central is the college readiness. I do not feel prepared for college. I do not know how to write papers well because I have not been taught how to do so.
