I would describe my overall experience at Central High School as developmental. I grew in my arts of acting and singing, I met many knew people who have had an impact on me, and I've been provided so many opportunities and resources. Even when the growing was hard, the impacts were seemingly negative, and the opportunities seemed to be too much to handle, it all shaped me to be who I am.

The International Baccalaureate program is the biggest attractor for this school, and the team of teachers work hard to help students graduate with an International Baccalaureate seal on their diploma. This high school also has a very good fine arts program, particularly their orchestra that performs across the state and hosts orchestral events for the community.

The best part about central would probably be our college readiness. All of our seniors and upcoming seniors for the most part is on track . We have had the highest graduation rate for the past 3 years . Our teachers are teaching us right and making sure we are ready for the real world. All our teachers are engaged , any teacher in the building would help if it's needed. The bad thing bout central always be the freshman. I guess because they are new and want to be seen but freshman always come and get out of character, They aren't just bad bad but they make bad decisions .

The school has since been remodeled and hopefully those problems have been fixed. There were many fights and I feared for my safety on multiple occaisions. The teachers...
