Central events can't happen without many people behind the scenes!
A HUGE THANK YOU to the volunteers who have already stepped up to be a part of Central's 2026 Chain Gang! Your time, energy and willingness to help serve our school and community is what makes us Central Strong!
BUT... we still need help! We are looking for additional volunteers to help at our home football games this fall. Whether you can help once, a few times or throughout the season, every set of hands makes a difference.
Interested in joining Central's Chain Gang? Email akeppler@central.k12.ia.us to find out how you can contribute to the team behind our team!

💚 THANK YOU! 💚
As our Summer Food Program comes to a close, we want to extend a heartfelt THANK YOU to all of the families, children, staff, and community members who participated this summer.
Because of your support and participation, we were able to serve an incredible 28,060 meals throughout the program! 🎉🍎🥪🥛
Every breakfast and lunch served represents a child being nourished, supported, and cared for during the summer months. We are so grateful for the opportunity to provide free meals to children in our communities.
Thank you for making this summer such a success. We appreciate each and every family who joined us, and we look forward to serving our students again during the upcoming school year!

We would like to thank the Central Athletic Booster Club for their generous $5,000 donation toward our gym floor renovation project. Their commitment to Central athletics and our students helps make improvements like this possible. Thank you for helping us create a facility all Warriors can be proud of! ❤️🤍
