The school itself is nice. It's a modern building with all of the space necessary. The teachers, for the most part, are extremely competent and caring. Academically the school does not stand out, but there is potential for standout students to arise if they put in the work.

Centralia High School is a pretty good school to go to. The teachers are very nice and accepting and there is a variety of students and classes. The only problem is that the administration is not always on the same page.

I love Centralia High School. They make sure that I'm always being challenged and I'm pushed to do my very best. I feel that they are doing a great job of preparing me for when I go to college. I'm able to take AP classes to help me towards my goals. I love the band program and being able to showcase my talents. I just really enjoy my time in school

My son has had challenging classes all of his years at CHS. Those classes are taught by highly-qualified teachers that actually care about his future. The technology available at the high school is top-notch, preparing my son for life after high school.
