Central CSD

🏀 Pack the Gym Tuesday Night! 🏀
It’s a big one as Central takes on Turkey Valley in UIC Small Division action.
JV starts at 4:00.
Our #3 Varsity Girls will take on #1 Turkey Valley around 6:15, and our #1 Varsity Boys take on #2 Turkey Valley after that!

Stick around for the fun too. Try your luck with a half-court shot during Varsity Girls halftime, and be sure to enter the raffle for a free throw contest during Boys halftime for a chance to win half the pot!

Big matchups, great atmosphere, and plenty of excitement. You won’t want to miss this one. Let’s pack the gym, Warrior fans!

Central had SIX students accepted into the Meistersinger Honor Choir Festival at Wartburg College this year, which is a tremendous honor. Throughout this festival, these students have been developing new musical skills, deepening their musical knowledge, and learning how to be vulnerable, confident musicians in an inspiring environment.

Please tune in tonight at 5:00 PM to watch this outstanding performance and support Kristy, Layla, Lukas, Millie, Raelynn, and Maxwell!

Our students had a hands-on learning experience making tin castings and learning more about the world of metal casting.

Thank you to our presenters, Joe Costabile from the Foundry Educational Foundation and Jerry Thiel from Casting Dreams. Students learned about different metal casting processes, training opportunities, and careers in the industry, and then got to put that learning into action with sand casting using tin.

Great learning, great experience, and a lot of curiosity sparked along the way! 🔧✨
