Congratulations to senior Gabi Schmidt! We’re proud to share that she will attend Harvard University in the fall to study Human Developmental and Regenerative Biology. Her career goals are in the biology field, either in biomedical research with a focus on medical access and care disparities or potentially a doctor.

“Central prepared me for my future by allowing small class sizes and a strong sense of community!” Gabi said. “I feel like I have good relationships with all of the staff here, not just teachers. The smaller class sizes allow for more personalized learning and getting to try new things.”

Central High School’s senior directed play is coming up next week! You won’t want to miss Bedlam at the Bermuda B&B directed by seniors Jay Johnson, Gabi Schmidt and Kort Booth.

Showtimes will take place in the Central High School Auditorium on Thursday, May 7 and Friday, May 8 at 7 p.m., and on Saturday, May 9 at 2 p.m. Tickets are available at the door, CASH ONLY. Students and senior citizens are $5, and adult tickets are $7.

The play synopsis: A cruise ship, hotel, and bed-and-breakfast with similar names become the setting for chaotic, but hilarious, mix-ups in Bermuda. A high school science field trip (in search of a rare medicinal plant), a marching band (performing in a competition that may not exist), a religious retreat (that’s actually a doomsday cult), and a category 5 hurricane (which formed in the Bermuda Triangle) all collide. At the center is Shea, a struggling inn owner trying to hide the chaos from an important B&B influencer whose “Platinum Pillow” review could save—or sink—her business. The play was written by Steven Garvey.
