I have had a fairly good experience with Central. Any counselor I've had here has always taken care of me and made school easier. The worst part about Central can sometimes be the administration. I feel like sometimes they make rules to cater to themselves.

I've been going to Central High School for four years now. I definitely am blessed to be in the environment that im in. You can always find at least one teacher that you are able to talk too. I was also in the volleyball program. Even though there was diversity on the team I will always be thankful for God giving me the opportunity. I've learned so much the the four years I've been here. I can't wait to move on too the next chapter of life.

Central High School in San Angelo, Texas, is great in terms of music. Our marching band is amazing. Though in terms of other resources, not so much. The teachers could help out more with explaining college application processes. The food could also be better.
