Bulldog Announcements

Dear Central High Parents/ Guardians,

I want to thank each and every one of you for sharing your student with us this year, and for allowing us to have a chance to impact their life in a positive way. The CHS Newsletter will serve as a tool to communicate important information to Central High families.

Third Quarter Grades

Third quarter grades will be available via Home Access Center on Friday, March 24, 2023 at 3:00 p.m. Please take the time discuss your child's grades. If your child did not successfully pass their class, please contact the CHS counselors and teacher to develop an academic plan. Please check your student's grades online, and communicate with your student's teachers as soon as possible to ensure academic excellence. Our goal is that all students are academically successful. If your child did not pass their class, please contact the CHS counselors to develop an academic plan.

Proposition S: High-Priority Projects

A formational presentation about the upcoming bond issue, Proposition S, will be provided for all Central High School Community members on Friday, March 3, 2023 from 6:00 p.m. to 6:45 p.m. located in the auditorium. As SPS and Central High School community members, it is important that all of us understand these projects and how they will impact students.

CHS Commencement 2022- 23 (Happyville)

The time has come for our CHS seniors to walk across the stage to celebrate their hard work. As your seniors' high school journey comes to end and their future begins to take shape, we are thankful that we have had the opportunity and your trust to guide and develop their vision beyond Central High School.

With one academic quarter left of their senior year, it is also a time that can become confusing, stressful, and exciting. Our goal is to provide proper planning and clear communication to the families of CHS to ensure we alleviate any anxieties within this exciting time for your student and family. It is important to get key events on your calendar.

CHS commencement ceremony is scheduled for Saturday, May 20, 2023 at 9:00 a.m. in the Great Southern Bank Arena. Students should arrive no later than 8:00 a.m. and enter Hammons Student Center through the southeast corner. Once checked in, students will not be allowed to leave until the conclusion of the ceremony. Parking is available in various lots at Missouri State. Spectators may enter GSB Arena through the southwest, northwest, or southeast doors. At the conclusion of the ceremony, students will be escorted out of the arena and will receive their diploma. Parents and guardians may meet their student on the northeast exterior corner of GSB Arena.

All Senior info can be found on the CHS website. Please utilize the Senior Info link below to access Senior information.

Thank you,

Mr. Jeremy B. Brown
