Welcome back!!!
Today, we had the absolute pleasure of welcoming back members of the Class of 1975 and 1965 for a school tour. It was an honor to hear their stories, share memories, and show them how the school has grown and changed over the years. We were thrilled to get to know the people who helped shape the foundation we continue to build on today!
Thank you, Class of '65 and '75, for your spirit, your stories, and your continued connection to our community. We hope your visit was as meaningful to you as it was to us. You’re always welcome here!
Later today we welcome the class of 1995! See you all soon!!
A big Warrior thank you to Doug, AJ, Neil, Ray and Kory (not pictured)! ❤️🤍
While most of us are enjoying summer break, our hardworking maintenance/custodial team is busy cleaning, repairing, and preparing every corner of the school to make sure it’s ready for another great year. Their hard work behind the scenes doesn’t go unnoticed, and we are so grateful for everything they do to keep Central running smoothly!
