I really liked attending Central Junior High school. It was always held to a better standard (in my opinion) than other schools in HEB ISD. There are great opportunities that come from taking exclusive, higher level courses at Central. Overall, my education at Central Jr. High pushed me to become a better student.

I like to the variety of programs they offer such as physics for 9th graders and being the only junior high with an orchestra. I also enjoy being a part of the Mandarin Chinese class from the world languages they offer.
