Our Granddaughter has been going to Central since kindergarten she loves her school. She has been in the school's sport program since elementary. She will be staying until she graduates from high school. Now she is in 8th grade and still loves it. They treat her like family. The teachers really care for the children at the school. The Principal has a program called remind, this program works wonderfully if all parties use it. It helps the parents know what is due the next day. Doesn't matter what grade a child is in, we all need to remind each other. They are still learning, and this system works if all parties will just use it. We have been very impressed with the sports program. The Coaching team has been great. You couldn't ask for a better team. It's great when you see a Coach who cares and not screaming at your child. Teaching staff has been great. Have we had bumps yes but what school doesn't. Life gives you bump in the road. Least the staff and teachers listen. Glad to see teachers who pray over the kids.
