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.

Center High School was definitely the worst school out of all in Center, Texas. My family and I loved how well things were going up until high school. Center High School has had many complications during my Senior year so far. My senior year has been the worst out of the four I have attended here. Never have I ever been so scared and disappointed to arrive at school wondering what was going to happen that day. I feel that the adults could have handled the complications we have had this school year way better. Also, I don't feel safe with the number of students with covid-19 that get sent home every day. Coming to school and seeing such a decrease in students gone feels weird. Seeing the halls look empty and not having some of your closest friends around to eat lunch with you is very depressing as well.
