Central was a great school, there needs to be an easier way to get in contact with the conselor's though, because trying to email for an appointment usually will take weeks to get a response. And if you go in person to make an appointment then you are just told to email her which can be an issue when it comes to registering and withdrawals.

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.

My experience at Central has been wonderful. The school has great academics, teachers, culture, and so much more. One of the defining parts of my experience at Central has been the band program. The band program is top-notch in every facet. From the band program, I've learned much about dedication, hard work, resilience, persistence, and who I am. A change I would like to see in Central is more comfortable chairs.
