All-State auditions are one of the toughest days of the year for any musician. While we didn’t have anyone accepted this time, we’re so proud of our two singers for their outstanding auditions — and a special shoutout to Raelynn for earning a recall! What an incredible reflection of their effort, growth, and dedication. Congratulations to our students on a job well done!
All State auditions have arrived. Keep these two Central students in your hearts today as they give it their all in Independence!
Make plans to grab a bite to eat at TD's on Friday, November 14th! Our Spanish Club students will be there to help raise money for their Costa Rica trip before the 6th-8th grade dance that night!

🍎 Locally Grown Day at Central Community School District! 🍔
Today’s lunch was all about celebrating local goodness! We served up delicious pork burgers from Our Farm Meats, grilled by our very own Wanda and Jerry Brink, along with crisp, locally grown apples from Bilden's Apple Orchard.
We love supporting our local farmers and showing our students where their food comes from — right here in our community! 💚
🏃♂️🏃♀️ Our Cross Country teams travel to Starmont tonight for the State Qualifying Meet! It’s just a short drive, so come out and cheer on the Warriors as they race for a spot at State!

🎃 Pumpkin Investigation with Our Elementary Friends! 🎃
Agriculture Leadership B has been having a blast planning, facilitating, and presenting agriculture lessons with our elementary friends! This week’s activity was called “Pumpkin Investigation.”
Students measured the circumference of the pumpkin, conducted a float test, counted the ridges, weighed their pumpkins, and even explored what’s inside!
We’re looking forward to roasting pumpkin seeds soon to share with our third-grade friends as a fun and healthy snack.

🎓 The Central 10th Grade Class Visits UNI! 💜💛
Our sophomores had the opportunity to experience life at a four-year state university during their visit to the University of Northern Iowa! Students learned about the admissions process, explored academic programs, and got a feel for student life through a presentation from the admissions department, a student panel, a campus tour, and lunch at the Piazza Dining Hall.
This visit is part of our District Career and Academic Plan (DCAP), which helps students explore future career and education paths as they begin to plan for life after high school.

✈️Ms. Schmeling's Statistics class explored how the type of paper used to make a paper airplane affects how far it flies. They created three paper airplanes — one from printer paper, one from cardstock, and one from construction paper — using a basic folding design.
Through this experiment, students learned how data in the real-world often follows a normal distribution, and how understanding mean, variation, and consistency can help explain real-world performance — even something as fun as flying paper airplanes!
