It’s a decent school. Food needs to improve a lot. On a more serious note though they need to do a better job in preventing bullying of queer students. It’s a little out of hand. And when students tell staff about this they are often ignored. But I’d say 75% of the teachers are great and teach very well and some students are very kind.

SEAN HUMPHREY ‘25 The lunches need a total overhaul. The fries sometimes are grey, soggy and have grease residue in them, the ‘meat’ tastes more like it was boiled to be cooked, frozen for late then boiled again to be thawed. I have gotten two expired milks and a spoiled applesauce when getting school lunch.

I am a member of both the Cultural Diversity club and the GayStraight Alliance here at Central High School. One thing I feel Central students and staff could work on is valuing diversity and inhibiting discrimination. Our students should be able to feel safe and secure in their learning environment, they should feel comfortable in their own skin. When a student or staff member makes a hurtful, discriminatory comment, they should feel comfortable disclosing that information with a staff member, whether that be a social worker or a teacher. Staff should validate the student’s experience and how they are feeling because of it rather than brushing it off or trying to make excuses for the perpetrator’s behavior. The issue should be addressed accordingly and the victim should notice a change. Our school could implement more diversity into the curriculum and highlight the importance of understanding and acceptance.
