I enjoy the sports and staff. The curriculum is high level. I would like to see some changes with facility and school safety to be enhanced. The traditions an culture are amazing since this is a foundational and older school. I am glad to have the opportunity to attend these past 3 years.

Omaha Central High School not only prepares students to achieve to their highest potential by creating opportunities for students to succussed but also exceeds at teach the students about the value of legacies. The teachers are deeply passionate about the subjects they teach but they are also tremendously devoted in clubs and activities. Being a Central High school graduate means that the student is bestow with education that is extinguished and immersed in culture that is embedded in integrity.

I love how the staff is very caring. The teachers at Central High School have always pushed students to do better, even if you miss a test they give optional homework to get your grade up. One thing that I wish they did differently was to get the students more familiarized with the programs that they offer. You won't know about programs until a teacher mentions them or until you're about to graduate.

I graduated from Central two years ago, and I have only good memories. I was an IB honors student, and all my teachers were wonderful and actually...

Awesome. Loved it. Teachers were the BOMB school events were fun. There was a lot of homework help and cool clubs and I felt noticed and taken care of in a big school which was awesome. I rember my teachers and will my whole life. Also super diverse but not in a forced way. Felt like the melting pot...
