The best experiences at Central High School often involved teachers who worked very hard to make sure students had a good learning environment and could thrive in a classroom.

Central has the best people in it but an awful administration. They control there students to a point were its awful to be different. People have no say or rights with what goes on and even the teachers are forced and put into a cell of what they can do. The only thing truly special about central are the teachers that try their absolute best to make the most of what they can for the students.
