🚨 Something exciting is happening at Central! 🚨
May Term gives our 7th-11th grade students the chance to explore topics they’re passionate about through hands-on, teacher-designed experiences during the last four days of school. It’s all about trying something new, diving deeper into interests, and having fun while learning in a whole new way!
Stay tuned for updates throughout the week on what great things are happening during May Term!


We are getting close! Please be sure to note the early dismissal time.


5th Graders participated in a Poppy Poster Contest for Memorial Day held by the American Legion Auxiliary! The students did such a great job, they all got ice cream as a treat! Ciera Gray earned First Place, Lucas Bergan-2nd and Raelynn Fangman earned third place. Congrats and excellent work! Special thank you to the American Legion Auxiliary.



These Central teammates had a fun time supporting Gavin Holst and Natalya Singleton at the Blue Oval down in Des Moines this Thursday. Gavin finished out his senior year with a 21st place finish in the 3200 m run while Natalya finished her freshman season with a 23rd place finish. Congratulations on a great season!







🎓 What a special day celebrating the Class of 2025! The smiles, hugs, and proud moments made for a graduation to remember. ❤️🤍
A special thank you to Gingersnap Photography for capturing and sharing these wonderful memories from the ceremony. 📸

These busy 5th graders had a full day of learning at The Mississippi River Museum on Wednesday. They learned more about different conservation efforts, Mississippi River history, vulnerable and endangered species and even got to "pet" stingrays! It was a great day to be a WARRIOR!


Our halls were full of cheers today as students lined up to give a big send-off to Natalya and Gavin as they head to State Track & Field tomorrow! 🏃♀️🏃♂️🎉
Good luck!





Third graders enjoyed their field trip to Stonefield in Cassville, Wisconsin. They made butter from heavy cream at the creamery, toured a farmhouse from 1900, traveled through the agricultural museum, and attended a country school. Lots of history today!









🎉 Big news! Mrs. Pope recently accepted a $1,000 grant on behalf of Central that will allow us to host two more Family Nights next school year! 🏫❤️
This generous grant was awarded by the Clayton County Foundation for the Future, with funding from the LeRoy & Colleen Darby family.
We’re so excited to continue creating fun, engaging events that bring our families together — thank you for supporting our Central community!


⛳️ That’s a wrap on a great golf season for our Warriors!
Our girls team competed in Regionals last Friday, with Katie Royer placing 17th overall! 💪 All of them showed incredible improvement throughout the season and we’re so proud of how far they came.
Griffen Hammersland represented us at Districts on Monday, and it was awesome to see the varsity team there to cheer him on. Their support and motivation have them fired up to make it to Districts as a team next year! 🔥 They were SO close this year!
Such an amazing group of student-athletes to work with — we’re already excited for next season!



Third graders would like to thank Danielle Shea for being their Junior Achievement volunteer. She taught them many things about how a community operates. They really enjoyed creating their own community and choosing businesses for it.








The 1st graders celebrated our high school helpers with a surprise graduation party. We enjoyed snacks while we read them what we would give for their graduation gifts!
We were/are so lucky to have high schoolers help in our classrooms ❤️🤍❤️🤍




5th graders enjoyed some time with their PK friends today!



Some of our band and chorus students traveled to Iowa State today to perform in the Outstanding Performers Showcase 🎶🎺🎤 — and they had a surprise visitor!
Mrs. Bond was on campus with students and stopped by to cheer on our talented performers. We love seeing Warriors supporting Warriors!




Thank you, Ryan Panuska from DC Welding, for spending the day with our welding students! 🔥👨🏭
Ryan gave an awesome demo on stainless steel TIG welding and Carbon Arc Gouging, and shared valuable tips and tricks from the mobile welding and repair industry. Students also learned about controlling weld distortion, joint fit-up, and more!
We’re so grateful for community partners who bring real-world experience into the classroom!
