A BIG Central Thank You to Think Custom for the donation of the PINK OUT shirts for our high school volleyball team and staff for last night's games.

We are so grateful for local businesses who continue to show up and support our student athletes. Small town businesses truly make a BIG difference at Central!

It was great to welcome some familiar faces back to Central this past weekend! ❤️ A group from the Class of 1991 stopped by for a tour as part of their class reunion, joined by a few alumni from the Class of 2006.

We love having our alumni back in the halls, hearing their stories, and showing them how much Central has changed over the years! Once a Warrior, always a Warrior.

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!!!
