AACHS President’s Circle Announcement
The creation of the President’s Circle—a community of like-minded graduates and individuals who believe that our personal and shared experiences at Central High School comes with a responsibility: to ensure future CHS students have access to all educational opportunities available today, as we did as Central students. It’s our time; it’s our turn to give back. Central’s Leading the Way Campus Expansion Campaign will allow us to expand Central’s footprint and build the world class facilities needed to provide a top-quality education worthy of students attending Central High.
