We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Warren Central was an amazing school for students to feel comfortable and involved. Warren Central allowed students the opportunity to get to know other students because of how diverse it was. It allowed me to express who I was and show my school spirit. Central has helped define me into the young woman that I am today and if I had the opportunity to go back I would. I have left Central with many of memories that still follow me till this day. Being apart of the lady dragons basketball volleyball team taught me many of things that I am using now in the real world. Central has helped me apply those things into my daily life.
