This week, we want to take a moment to say THANK YOU to all of the officials who have helped make Central athletic events possible this fall.
Behind every competition is a team of officials who give their time, knowledge and energy to ensure our students have the opportunity to compete. They often travel long distances, give up evenings and weekends and spend countless hours on the field or court doing a job that is essential to junior high and high school athletics. Our athletes may be the ones competing, but we couldn't have the competition without the people willing to officiate.
To every official who stepped onto a field or court this fall - thank you!
Central Community appreciates you!!!

📣 Basketball Cheerleading Interest! 🏀📣
We’re gauging interest in basketball cheerleading! If you’re interested in being part of the squad, join Coach Belser tomorrow during Advisory!

Mr. Bergan took a group of students on a Manufacturing field trip to Mobile Track Solutions this past week! Students had the opportunity to learn about careers in advanced manufacturing and explore emerging technologies in the trades. A great hands-on learning experience and a look at future career opportunities!
🎨 Four Central High School art students, Lenny Stevens, Kaia Engelhardt, Caitlin Mussmann, and Trace Healy, were selected to paint background displays for this year’s Art in the Dark!

🌱Learning Beyond the Classroom!
Central Community FFA took their Soil Evaluation learning outside the classroom today with a hands-on visit to the farm of Dick Jensen!
Students had the opportunity to explore soil in a real-world setting and learn more about soil characteristics, evaluation, and conservation. A special thank you to Neil Sass, NRCS Soil Scientist, for sharing his expertise and helping make this a valuable learning experience for our students!
We’re grateful for opportunities like these that allow our FFA members to connect classroom knowledge with hands-on agricultural experiences.
