1. Mondays Meant You Could Sleep In.
Late start always made mondays just a bit more bearable. Instead of the usual 7:25, school on mondays started at 8:10, and those extra 45 minutes of sleep truly meant everything!
2. Your Teachers Were Life Changing.
From Mr. Smalley, to Esch daddy and everybody in between, the teaching staff at CLC is incredibly passionate, caring, and hardworking. They are fully invested in their students, and genuinely care about their well being. If you talk to almost any student who spent time at Central, they will cite at least 1 teacher who was a big influence on their personal growth.
3. There Is A Picture Of You Hanging Somewhere In The School
Oh yes, who can forget all of the pictures hanging in the hallways of every single graduating class since the 1920's?!
4. Your Always Took All Of The Time In The World To Go To Gym Class......Unless It Was Choice Day.
Ah yes, choice day. The only times where anybody cared about Gym. Nobody can forget the days of rushing down to the locker room as quickly as possible to change, and then would trample over each other on the way upstairs so they could be first to grab their cards, and get in line for the activity they wanted.
5. The Stadium Was ALWAYS Packed For Friday Night Football Games, Even If They Were Away.
The Central Crazies Always brought the hype, and the volume. Our student section was as good as any.
6. You Hated South.
This one is pretty self explanatory. We hated South with a burning passion. Nobody really cared about Prairie Ridge because Central VS. South was the main rivalry in town.
7. When You Were A Freshman, You Probably Got Pushed Around At 4 Corners More Than Once.
4 Corners was ALWAYS a mass exodus after school when everyone was trying to leave, and the freshman were always getting toppled on when they walked slow.
8. You Embraced Diversity
Central is known for its sense of community and collectivism. Unlike most other high schools, it didn't have a lot of cliques, and everybody was very tolerant of one another. We were all Tigers!
9. You're Proud That You Went To CLC
I'll never forget the amount kids from other schools who always said they wanted to go to Central, due to the simple fact that its sense of community is simply unbeatable. In general, kids from other schools didn't seem nearly as enthusiastic about their school as we Central kids felt about ours.
10. You Wouldn't Trade Your Time There For The World.
Your high school experience was truly second to none!
