Over the past 4 years, I've loved Central high school. Everything from the faculty's to the teachers have been spot on. I ran track and did Chorus all 4 years and everything from the arts programs to the sports are exceptionally good. If I lived in the Carrollton area and I was a student trying to find a good high school to join, Central would be at the top of my list.
