Central's culture between students and staff is indescribable. There is always a staff member treating you in the morning or there to help you in any situation. When it comes to extra curricular activities there is always something for everyone. If you can't find something perfect for you, you can start up a club that is better for you.

While there are small groups of LGBTQ+ students, they tend to cluster together and become incredibly tight. The community fosters small, tight-knit friend groups, but those groups face lots of adversity.
