Central high school students took on the Presidential Fitness Challenge this fall, testing their strength and endurance with push-ups, sit-ups, pull-ups, the sit-and-reach, shuttle run, and the mile.
Students who scored in the top 50% for their age group in every event earned the National rating, and those in the top 85% across the board earned the Presidential rating and a Presidential Fitness Challenge shirt.
Proud of all our Warriors who pushed themselves and showed what they can do! ❤️🤍

Central’s School Counselor and Family Liaison have been teaching the Second Step Protect Unit to students in grades K–5 to help keep them safe. Each grade completes six lessons focused on personal safety, touching safety, and assertiveness. After every lesson, students bring home a letter to review and discuss with their families.
Today, our 5th graders wrapped up their final lesson! They’ve done a fantastic job learning how to stay safe and be assertive. To celebrate, Mrs. Pope joined the class to watch them dance and sing along to one of the songs from a unit, “I’m in Charge”.
