My overall experience as a student at Central Cabarrus was good. I can to Central my sophomore year and it was definitely an adjustment for me transferring from a stem school. The teachers, faculty and students were very welcoming.

I have loved going to Central. I play 3 sports there, I'm one of the top students in my class, and I'm involved in and lead many clubs. I have enjoyed each of these experiences a lot, and I'm glad I've spent the past 4 years at Central.
