Central CSD

Two of our vocal students have dedicated themselves to the Iowa All-State audition process—the highest honor a high school musician can achieve, and also one of the most challenging! Today, the Iowa High School Music Association hosted workshops across the state to help students prepare. Please join us in wishing Mikayla and Raelynn the best of luck as they continue their All-State journey!

Central XC had a great day at Clayton Ridge Tuesday! Junior High Boys team was 1st, High School Boys team was 2nd behind Dyersville Beckman who is currently seeded 8th in the state, High School Girls placed 4th.

🍎 Central has an anticipated opening in Food Service! We’re looking for someone who is a team player, hardworking, and brings a positive attitude to our school community.

📢 Food Science Spotlight! 🧀✨ Yesterday our Food Science students rolled up their sleeves and made homemade cheese! Today they got to taste their creations and reflect on how each step connected to the units of operation in food processing—from heating and separating to packaging and controlling. Hands-on activities like this help students see how science, processing, and creativity come together to make the foods we enjoy every day. 👩‍🔬👨‍🔬

📅 Here’s a look at what’s happening this week at Central!

🚨 Reminder: There is NO SCHOOL on Monday, September 1. We hope everyone enjoys their Labor Day! 🇺🇸

🗣️ [insert game show host voice]: "Talented student-artists face off in a whole new way. Pushing to win, no matter what curves are thrown at them and before TIME runs out! Artists, you have been CHOPPED!"... Art classes kicked off the school year with deep thinking, teamwork, creativity, and plenty of laughs— as students competed for the title of “Master Artist” in their class. Given only six random items and a handful of basic “pantry” supplies, each group worked hard to transform their materials into a presentable work of art. The challenge? Make something strong enough to impress the judge in order to avoid being “chopped” [eliminated]! The clock was ticking, the ideas were flowing, and the competition was fierce. Some teams thrived, some just survived— but in the end, every student proved that with imagination, even the wildest mix of materials can become a masterpiece.
