OPUS HONOR CHOIR — CONGRATULATIONS!
We are excited to announce that two Central students have been selected for the 2026 OPUS Honor Choir! Congratulations to Ciera and Daxon!
OPUS is a prestigious honor choir sponsored by the Iowa Choral Directors Association. This year, over 3,000 auditions were received from students across Iowa! Being selected is a significant accomplishment, as students must prepare audition material and demonstrate their musical abilities to earn a place in this outstanding group.
These students will join talented singers from across the state for an incredible day of music-making, learning, and collaboration, culminating in a performance at Iowa State University on November 19.
We are incredibly proud of these students and the work they put into their musical growth. What an honor to be selected from such a talented pool of young musicians! Please join us in congratulating Ciera Gray and Daxon Heston on this outstanding achievement!

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!!!
