Welcome to Central High


Welcome to Central High, our doors and legs open promptly at 7 AM. A Bibb County school of perfection? No, we prefer Title One School of disappointment. Welcome to Central High, Where our mission is to prepare all students for college. We have a 40% graduation rate and most of our students later attend Georgia Tech on Eisenhower. Welcome to Central High, where teachers can’t seem to control their students or what goes on in their classroom. Where students roam the halls during class and go to first, second, third and fourth lunch. Welcome to Central High, where students have no respect for teachers, dress code, school property, each other, and the list goes on and on. Welcome to Central High, where if you know the right guy you can buy a dime bag on the low. Or if you talk a good game you can have a different girl behind the school every day. Welcome to Central High, where boys stuff guns in their duffel bags and girls hide razor blades in their purses because they have something planned for another student after school. Welcome to Central High, where we offer the communication doesn't exist, teachers are monotonous, and students do as they please. Welcome to Central High, where our motto is "we lead; it can be done". Where are we being led? What is being done? No one knows. I hope you feel welcomed into our doors!
