Our academic life at Central revolves around discussions, assignments and tests which are designed to help us understand the ever changing world around us. Through this understanding, we can form ideas concerning ourselves and determine the part we will portray in shaping the future of our community. We learn that we must be aware of everything and everyone around us. We must possess an open mind — considering all ideas before forming an opinion. In this way, we can prove that we are ready to accept any responsibility given to us. Yet this is just the beginning.

Math students, for the second year, used the “work group” approach which proved to be a success again.

Math classes offered to students at Central were Algebra I and II, Plane Geometry, Plane and Solid Geometry, Trigonometry and Analytical Geometry. These classes were for the college bound students.
