Art 1 students recently explored tempera paint techniques while learning about color theory! For this project, each student selected a specific color scheme to bring their animal artwork to life. Through thoughtful color choices and careful brushwork, they practiced blending, layering, and creating contrast. Their creativity and understanding of color shine through in these amazing pieces! |

Dear Center High School Families,
YOUR VOICE MATTERS! The Family-School Relationships Survey is now open, and we invite you to share your experiences with our schools. Your perspective is invaluable in ensuring all students feel a sense of belonging, feel valued, thrive, and reach their full potential. Together, we can create this for all students.
Your feedback helps us understand what is working well and where we have opportunities for growth so we can continue improving our schools for students, families, and staff. The short, anonymous survey is available in multiple languages and takes just a few minutes to complete. Make sure to submit your responses by Friday, February 28, 2025. As a thank you, after completing the survey, you can enter for a chance to win dinner on us!
Below are links to the family and student surveys. For the student survey, the passcode asked for is the student's ID number. Thank you for your time and partnership! |

A School Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA) is a document that outlines a school's actions to improve student academic performance. The SPSA is developed by the school's School Site Council (SSC), which is a group that includes school staff, parents, community members, and students. The SPSA is approved by the SSC and the local governing board each year.
The SPSA includes: A plan for continuous improvement A review of data on student achievement, attendance, and climate A plan for addressing funding and expenditures
The School Action Plan, Parent Family Engagement Policy, and School-Parent Compact The purpose of the SPSA is to: Raise academic performance to state standards Ensure that all students meet academic standards
Create a cycle of continuous improvement A snapshot of CHS's School Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA) can be found on our website and is linked here. |
