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.

The best part of my high school experience so far is definately my experience with choir and theater. Our theater program has many talented students who work hard in every aspect of high school. Some things that could be improved are the science classes.

Central high school is a very integrated school, where everyone knows everyone. It is a very tight knit community, and there is a large sense of family at Central. The teachers really care about their students, not just in the classroom, but outside of it as well. They want to make sure that you succeed in life, not just academically but personally as well. I loved my time at Central.

Teachers that don't care about their students and bus drivers that drive like their in their own personal bus race, and w...
