We’re lucky to have such incredible parents and students at Central!
From our recent parent survey, we heard from a new family about their experience.
“This is our student’s first year at the school having transferred from another area elementary school. Our student has really thrived and we enjoy the culture of Central. All the extras that my student has never been exposed to are really neat, especially STEAM.”

IMPORTANT DATE CHANGE: Due to the inclement weather, the High School Band Concert originally scheduled for tomorrow has been rescheduled to Tuesday, March 17th at 5pm.

At Central Public Schools, we value kindness and inclusion. Our staff and students create a genuine effort to show compassion for others and realize the value and potential of all.
We’re grateful for another parent sharing a testimonial in our recent survey.
