The best part of central was seeing different people from different backgrounds come together. Everything about the school was great and I wouldn't change a thing. I would say there needs to be more teachers because there are way too many kids.

Westerville Central is a great high school to attend with fantastic people around every corner.

There are occasional threats and fights but the staff and resident officer make the place feel safe from day to day.
