Center HighSchool is like any other Highschool but there are a few qualities that set it apart from others. The highschool is in the center of a small town in east texas making it an ideal place for families. They offer many certification programs and dual credit classes to prepare their students for college and to get jobs. The few downsides of the school is the changing staff and the recent construction infront of the school. Teachers come and go every year and many treat the students unfairly and the construcion infront of the school make it difficult for students to park.

My overall experience at Center High School was amazing. During my 4 years of attending this school, I learned so many things like math, science, and reading skills. Also while attending this school I enrolled in a career class which is cna. And once I'm finished with that class I can get my license, which is amazing.

My school as a whole really has been a negative experience. The school is more worried about the dress code, open drinks and not using certain doors than the education we receive and the safety of the students with bullying. The only reason I come to school is for a few select teachers my peers I consider my friends. I would like to see the bullying changed and for students to be taken seriously when they repot another student.
