Both of my daughters graduated from Central within the last 3 years. Central has some great teachers and a wonderful principal. They seem to have allot of student involvement. My only concern is that I felt my daughters were a little underprepared for all the writing they had to do in college. I will say, however, that neither child took AP English as a senior. Central has strong science and math departments.

I graduated from CHS in 2007. I thought that i couldn't ask for a better school. There is an extreme amount of school spirit, games are great to go to. The teachers are more than willing to do everything they can to help achieve your best.

I got to Central High School and it has its prosd and cons. Central pulls from two middle schools which are Harwood and Thompkins. Harwood's school district is from downtown to Buena Vista Road which is a rough area of town and Thompkins pulls from Buena Vista road to the Vanderburgh/Gibson County line which is a very good area. I went to Harwood and I feel that teachers treated us lesser than the thompkins kids. I was excited for central because I thought I woul finally be in a nice school but if your coming from Harwood its no different there are good parts however. Central High scool has about 1300 so it isnt huge so if your coming from thompkins there is plenty of indiv. attn. but if coming from harwood central is extremely rough
