My children have thrived at Central. We moved here for the schools and have been very happy! Principal Dygert is wonderful, engaging and positive with everyone. The kids are challenged each day - we love it! Way to go Central El!

New principal (Mr. Surian) this past fall as definitely made a difference in this school for the better! Such a tremendous positive feel in the building, I believe you wouldn't recognize it from last year! Amazing! Many great teachers. I think Central is on it's way to the best in the district!
