At central high school my favorite part about it was definitely how much the teachers cared about us. They would go out of their way to make sure that we were alright. We were not a huge school, if I could change one thing it would be that we had more people in our graduating class. My favorite teachers were definitely Mrs Mac and Coach butler. Mrs Mac is an absolutely amazing person, she worked so hard to make sure everyone graduated. Coach Butler is the perfect image of a father and husband, I hope I can be half the man he is. Overall I would not have rather been anywhere else.

Central High School is one of the best schools I have been to. I have moved around many times in my life and when I came to Central, I did not want to leave. So now I am a senior about to graduate and I have been at this school since seventh grade. I am ecstatic about having had the chance to spend the last five years of my life in this school.

Overall, I have had a wonderful experience at Central High School. I loved how many friendships I have developed over the years. I enjoy getting to play volleyball and basketball. If I could change anything, it would be to eliminate having favorites and treating people differently. The teachers and coaches sometimes make exceptions because of who people are and who their parents are. I would change it so everyone is equal.
