Congratulations again to the Central High School Class of 2024! We are so proud of you!

That feeling when you are done with high school and ready for what comes next!

All of our speakers and performers did such an amazing job!






CHS Choir Students have gone country! Students performed yesterday at the Country Music Hall of Fame in Nashville before heading to the Grand Ole Opry to see Carrie Underwood perform.


Tell me your graduates know how to have fun during graduation without telling me that your graduates like to have fun during graduation.

CONGRATULATIONS to Morgan Alar, Britney Smith, and Destiny Henke for being named to the 2024 MRC All-Conference Softball Team and to Abby Venske - Honorable Mention.
Morgan Alar - Junior - Centerfield
Morgan Alar batted .429 in conference play and .509 overall in the regular season. The slap hitter was a force on the base paths, stealing 24 bases, and scoring 22 runs on the season. She is also a super dependable outfielder that can cover a lot of ground. Morgan is the daughter of Chris and Sally Alar.
Britney Smith - Senior - SS
Britney Smith started the year off a little slow hitting-wise, but then really took off about halfway through the season. After the first eight games of the season, she was batting .167. For the last 11 regular season games she started to erupt, batting .605 with 23 hits in 39 plate appearances (38 AB). On the year she has a batting average of .435, four doubles, one triple, one HR, 21 RBI, and 13 runs. Her defense has been just as stellar, being an
absolute anchor for the team on defense, making the routine and incredible plays consistently. Britney is the daughter of David and Cheri Smith.
Destiny Henke - Sophomore - Pitcher
Destiny Henke was a rock at pitcher this year. She was the main reason the team was able to stay in games this year when the bats weren't working. She started 11 games this year facing most of the team’s tougher opponents, and finished with a 3.75 ERA. Destiny is the daughter of Steve and Jessica Henke.
Honorable Mention All-Conference:
Abby Venske - Senior - 3B




Memorial Day is a time to reflect on those who made the ultimate sacrifice in service of our country and our freedom.
