These programs allow us to recognize one Student-Athlete and one Fine Arts student for individual character and habits that lead to success and thank you to Beth Rentschler, Director of High School Partnerships, for attending our monthly assembly. The September Student-Athlete of the Month is recognized for her commitment to preparing for the season this summer when they attended workouts and worked hard to get more teammates to come. Coaches have shared this person was instrumental in getting enough involvement to participate in summer opportunities. Leadership in practice and competitions, individual skill improvement, and being a positive teammate are all qualities they are known for. Even though this student has a job they work at very regularly, they have never missed a practice or competition due to work. The September Student-Athlete of the Month is Aly Feickert.

THANK YOU! We would like to say thank you to the Central Community for your generous support through can donations. Your donations help fund numerous student activities throughout the year. Students sort and transport all bottles and cans that come into our bin, due to safety and space issues we are going to accept NO GLASS BOTTLES at this time. Please do not leave glass bottles at either recycling bin that is collected for the school. Thanks again for your continued support. #ClaytonCountyBEST
