I don't have many negative things to say about central, and I quite enjoyed my time at the school. I love the arts departments there, all of the students are very talented and care deeply about the work that they are doing.

I love central high school, I went to north west high school for my first two years and there is a big difference on how central is a way better environment. Central is great at sports and I love how the school comes together to support our teams.

Central is a very diverse and unique place. I wouldn't trade my 4 years there for anything. I was able to grow my perspectives on the world and gain a great grasp of the worlds issues as I was previously very sheltered. Central has some great teachers and can be what you make it.
