- I went to Central in the 1999-2000 year, I believe I was the only Caucasian(white boy) in the school at the time, I say that because it seems to have been an issue w/ everyone, including the principal, except me. The principal claimed I left because the school lost accreditation.... fellow classmates believed it was more personal reasons......not to be talked about on this site. My point is that there is great potential at Central, the architecture is great there, a beautiful school, but I was learning things in the 9th Grade there that it took 11th grade to teach me at Warrensburg High in adjacent county of Johnson (Missouri). It was also very safe INSIDE the school with the metal detectors and security guards... the CITY can do so much if we all just listened.........

- when I graduated from Central (1961) it was a racially mixed school, but there was very little problem back then.

(Rating: 3 / 5) Report As Inappropriate - enjoyed going to school there. back in 1961 when I graduated it was very racially diversified. that's where I met my ex in the 9th grade.
