I love this school. The entire staff is amazing. I couldn't be happier with the curriculum, standards, and respect the have here. Thank you Haines staff for all that you do for our children.

I think it’s an excellent school with excellent teachers. My sons test scores in standardized testing has gone up since attending this school.

Excellent teachers, principal and staff. My kids learn in a short couple hours time what other kids learn in all day kindergarten. I would not change a thing!

I cannot speak for everyone, but based on my four years at this school, graduating in 2020, I feel very fortunate to have been a part of it. I participated in girls' track and cross country, as well as a brief experience in wrestling, all of which were positive and welcoming environments.Throughout my time at the school, I never felt targeted or bulled. My dean was consistently supportive and approachable, and I always felt comfortable seeking guidance when needed. My teachers treated me fairly and respectfully, never making me feel out of place. They were thorough, communicative, and encouraged questions, which created a leaming environment where I felt confident asking for clarification or reviewing previously covered material.The school also does an excellent job of encouraging student socialization through classes, sports, group projects, advisory periods, and assemblies. Attendance was taken seriously, and parents were promptly notified of absences, which demonstrated strong communication between the school and families and reinforced student safety.Physical education offerings were especially impressive, as students could choose from a variety of options after their first year, including weightlifting, fitness courses with Fitbit tracking, yoga, referee training, and more. The language programs were another strength, offering instruction in English, French, Spanish, and American Sign Language. Driver's Education was a smooth and positive experience. My instructor was patient, friendly, and dedicated to ensuring we were fully prepared for obtaining our driver's licenses. After-school clubs were also enjoyable and rewarding, especially when participating in activities aligned with personal interests. These clubs fostered strong connections, and we celebrated together on final days for the club.School events such as prom were always well-organized and created unforgettable memories. Additionally. the option to attend summer school to earn credits early and graduate ahead of schedule was a valuable opportunity.Personally, I did not witness any negative experiences or outcomes that would discourage me from sending my own children to this school. On the contrary, I would want my children to have the same positive experience I did. I trust Joliet Central High School to provide a safe, supportive environment where students can socialize, learn, and grow through the wide range, activities and opportunities it offers.
