Central earns the Carrie Chapman Catt Award. It was with the help of Mr Wiley's American Government students that Central was able to achieve this. The award goes to schools that register at least ninety percent of their eligible students to vote. The award was created by Secretary Pate in 2019 to encourage voter registration in Iowa high schools.
