We are fortunate to live in a community with the staff and administration that Central has to offer. My children have the opportunity to decide which of the 2 community high school's that they would like to attend, and I couldn't be more proud of their choice. Central has provided so many amazing opportunities for my children. Top-notch staff and administration who put in the work to show each and every student that they matter, a beautiful and clean facility, and support staff who aren't just there to collect a check.The never-ending clubs and opportunities that are provided so that each and every student has a place to fit in, the sponsors and coaches, and the students themselves have all created such a caring-school community over the years that stretch beyond the classrooms. Being a part of the Cougar Nation is something that I am very proud of - even though I'm not an alumni. You couldn't dream of putting your children in a safer, more caring environment. And let's not let the administration fall short - the dynamic duo of Foutch and Freeze are the icing on the cake!

Overall, this school does a good job of preparing kids for high school and community life. The student to teacher ratio is a bit high, but the teachers work hard to reach every student and it's very noticeable that they really care.
