Highlights/Events


It's a First for Five at the Same Time!
5 Central Students achieved "Perfect" Scores on the ACT!!!

A Congratulations are in order to the 5 Central High School students who achieved a "perfect 36"  on the ACT!
Their exceptional scores will provide "any" college or university plenty of evidence of academic readiness for their college career.

As an FYI, fewer than half of 1 percent of students who take the ACT earn a top score. In the U.S. high school graduating class of 2020, only 5,579 out of 1.67 million students who took the ACT earned a top composite score of 36. 

The ACT consists of tests in English, mathematics, reading and science, each scored on a scale of 1–36. A student's composite score is the average of the four test scores. The score for ACT’s optional writing test is reported separately and is not included within the ACT composite score.


Veterans Day - November 11th




World Kindness Day - November 13th
