"Amazing experience so far. My daughter is a freshman this year and cannot say enough good things about her school. She says the kids are really friendly and the teachers treat the kids with respect. Mass at Central is awesome. It's hard to put into words, but there's a really special feeling at this school. Would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone."

"I graduated from Central Catholic in 2007 and I can honestly say that my experience there has shaped my life in such a significant way. There were complaints about "sports rules" and "too much faith" but why did you enter a Catholic school in the first place? Faith education is a primary goal of Catholic education, if that isnt something that you hold as important than don't enroll in a Catholic school. If I had to do it all over again I wouldn't change anything. A lot of the drama over the role of faith obviously came from those who either felt threatened by it or who just werent ready to accept that in their life at that time. I personally did not find it over bearing but rather a very peaceful and welcoming environment. I would reccomend it. AMDG +"

"I attended ACCHS from my freshman to senior year. I graduated in 2007. My first three years at ACCHS were awesome. Great classes, great teachers, great memories, the sporting events were a highlight of my week. I was envolved. Then my senior year came around and the administration changed. The best way to describe my senior year was like a theocratic dictatorship. It's fine to teach the faith, but to ram it down the throats of students does us all an injustice. I've been out for two years and sad to say I've never visited some of my favorite teachers -- teacher who had a profound impact on my life. Get rid of the current administration...and change the overbearing rules at sporting events. I want to be proud of my high school and right now I'm not."

"As a current student, I think the school is great. The teachers and acedemics are wonderful and we really learn life lessons in the classrooms as well as the regular ciriculum. My one complaint is the restrictions on school spirit at the various sports events."

"I was a teacher at this then prestigious school but after the new administration came in i decide to resign because of the poor balance between academics, sports, and faith. The school has become a seminar for kids instead of a place for academics. Also the bridge between sports and all the rules has to be broken. Students are loosing their pride and i will not be sending my son here in future."
