February's "worthy" assembly theme was about loving yourself and achieving high self-esteem for a rich, healthy, and happy life. Healthy self-esteem is correlated with physical activity, which means, exercise improves our physical, mental, emotional, social, and spiritual health.

Central held a Celebration Send-Off for our State Qualifiers, Mayleigh Medberry and Reese Berns before they make their way to the IGHSAU Girls State Wrestling Competition. We're proud of you, Warriors! Now go leave your mark!
During JA with Ann McCorkindale, the 4th graders had fun planning a business according to the resources available in a particular region.
Last night, the Central Pep Band held their Alumni Night! It's always nice to see familiar faces back in the building and even better when they share their talents with the rest of us!
