(5 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - I graduated from Central SENIOR High School in 1975. With the best teachers of the time, I can only hope that the youth of today have the wisdom of Mr. Sasser, and Mr. Alvereze

- The school was excellent as far as the education. The teachers were well educated in their field of specialty and I can honestly say I was not bored. I also enjoyed the Cooperative Office Education Program (COE) that helped prepare me for job placement in the Federal Government.
