It is a small school, so you know everyone. The teachers care. The building/school is old, but the new auditorium/music center is great. I feel it got me ready for college, but number of classes are limited.

Overall I like St. Edward Central Catholic High School because of the environment of people. If you choose the right group of friends and surround yourself with them, it is almost like a family. A lot of the teachers are very nice as well, and they really show their care for not only your studies, but actually for you too.
