Dear Central High Parents/ Guardians,
On behalf of the Central High School staff, it is my pleasure to welcome everyone to a great 2022-23 school year. We are excited to begin the school year with our students in our classrooms and hallways filling them with energy and enthusiasm for learning. Central High School is an amazing school full of tradition and pride with a beautiful, historic site. The CHS administration and staff have served many years within the educational field and will bring a wealth of knowledge to ensure Central High School continues to meet the tradition of educational excellence and success. We are eager to support students and families in every way possible.
It is our mission to help every child feel welcomed, connected, and part of our Central High School Bulldog family. The CHS staff will strive to challenge each student to excel in their academic abilities. We believe all students can and must learn at relatively high levels of achievement. We are confident that with your support and help, students can master challenging academic material. We are prepared to work collaboratively with colleagues, students, and parents to achieve this shared educational purpose. It is important that our students graduate from Central High School prepared for the demands of post-secondary education, meaningful careers, and effective citizenship.
Attendance is a top priority at Central High School. CHS wants to partner with your family to ensure your student is successful academically, behaviorally, and socially. School will begin at 8:10 A.M. It is important that students arrive to school on time each day. If your student is late or absent from school, please call the attendance office at 417-523-9615 or 417-523-9616.
The SPS Board of Education adopted transportation eligibility guidelines for the 2022-2023 school year. During the April 12 Board of Education meeting, an update on transportation for the 2022-2023 school year was presented. SPS evaluated the feedback and possible changes that would address the hardships identified. Central High School will utilize Tier 2 regarding start and dismissal times. Our school day will begin at 8:10 AM and conclude at 3:10 PM each day with the exception of late start Wednesday. We have enclosed our bell schedule for you as well. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Ms. Shelia Austin for further instructions.
Every school year should be rewarding and memorable. Please encourage your children to remain positive, attend school, and to work diligently whether on-line or seated. Central will do everything we can to meet health and educational needs. Please don’t hesitate to contact us with questions or concerns.
We are looking forward to a great school year here in Bulldog Nation!
Respectfully,
Jeremy B. Brown
Principal
