Last night, Central held the 2023 Academic and Awards night for the Senior Class… and what a night it was! Thank you to all the generous donors and presenters, the Central Community Scholarship Foundation and the many people that make nights like this possible!
Wednesday in Makerspace some of Mrs. Kremer's students made donuts. The students learned how yeast works to make the donuts raise and how to deep fat fry these yummy treats.
Central Community recently held a Daddy/Daughter Dance. This was a student led event by Isabella. She worked alongside Mrs. Orr to raise money for Camp Courageous. This was a project done in Central LEAD class, where each student had the opportunity to come up with ideas for a project that they would like to work on. Isabella wanted to do a dance party! After some brainstorming it was decided to host a Daddy/Daughter dance. The daddy/daughter dance was held on February 25th with 50 dads/special guest & daughters in attendance. There was an admission of $5 per dad to get in with all proceeds to go to Camp Courageous.
Isabella was instrumental in coming up with the idea, while Mrs. Nichole Orr helped bring the idea to fruition. Amazing teamwork by these two. Huge shout out to Mrs. Orr for her time and effort along with our other volunteers.
Today, Isabella was able to present the money raised to Charlie Becker from Camp Courageous.
Central Community School District is pleased to announce… Mrs. Darlene Dittmer, wife of the late Jack Dittmer will be present to throw out the ceremonial pitch at the WarEagles’ first baseball game to be held at the Jack Dittmer Sports Complex on May 18th. Please make plans to attend and show your support for not only our athletes but the Dittmer Family and their contribution to our community.
The Class of 2026 invites you to a fundraiser for their class. This is open to the general public and all money raised will be used towards future class events.
Today, “Workshop Wednesday” took us on a little field trip to thINK Custom for some behind the scenes action in the print world. After Travis Hekel’s graphic design visit to our classroom a few weeks ago, the students created their own personal logos and were excited to see them come to life on t-shirts with owner, Ryan Burke!! Such a fun and new experience for them.

Mr. Bergan, Central’s Industrial Tech teacher was awarded the High School’s Masonic Lodge Teacher of the Year for the 2022-2023 school year.
“Mr. Bergan has engaged in intense professional learning the past two summers, culminating with earning the title of Welding Inspector. Only 75% of the people pass the course and earn the certificate. Mr. Bergan has completely transformed our Industrial Technology program the past 4 years, both in physical appearance and in curricular offerings. This year Mr. Bergan transitioned to an Advanced Manufacturing program (previously it was a Construction Trades program). In addition to building his program, Mr. Bergan has built strong, meaningful connections with numerous students both in and out of his classroom.”
- Mr. Reinhart
Congratulations Mr. Bergan on being named this year’s Masonic Lodge High School Teacher of the Year!
Mr. Stramer, a 5th Grade teacher at Central, was awarded the Elementary’s Masonic Lodge Teacher of the Year Award for the 2022-2023 school year.
"This year is unique as I get to work with Mr. Stramer as his principal and as a parent. Mr. Stramer has excellent classroom management, and the kids really enjoy him as a teacher. Little things like going to recess and eating with your students are something Mr. Stramer does that other teachers do not. Mr. Stramer clearly understands the importance of building relationships with his students both in and out of the classroom!”
- Mr. Trenkamp
Congratulations Mr. Stramer on being named this year's Masonic Lodge Elementary Teacher of the Year!
