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.

My experience here was very fun and educational. I really like how the teachers engage with the students. I also enjoyed all of the academic opportunities I was offered that could later help me in college.

I loved my time at Central Union High school. Since my freshman year I was always so excited to go to school and be a spartan. The football games were always super fun and exciting and really helped make central the best school because of how much pride we have. I recommend Central to anyone that is about to go into high school or wants to move high schools because the energy it carries is amazing.
