Important Information
Central is a Title-I School. Parents of students in Title 1 schools have the right to know the status of their child’s teacher(s) in relation to being Highly Qualified.
Office Hours
Central's office hours are 7:00 – 3:00. No one is available to receive calls before or after this time. If you have an emergency after 3:00, please call the district's switchboard at 478-765-8711.
Parent Visitation Policy
State law requires that all persons visiting the school at any time and for any reason MUST report to the office to receive a visitors’ pass before entering a classroom. Visitors are required to show identification to the office staff. This is not to discourage visitation, but is a safety measure. Forgotten books, assignments, lunches, etc., may be left at the office for delivery to the classroom. If you desire to visit a classroom, we ask that you notify us 48 hours in advance, so that arrangements can be made with staff. All classroom visitors must be escorted by a school staff member.
Stakeholder Responsiveness
Please continue to express your concerns through the Let's Talk Platform. You can access the platform from the Central Schoolwires Page. We ask that you not submit anonymous Let's Talk messages, as we are not able to respond to anonymous submissions. The Let's Talk platform is a tool which allows all school staff to be held accountable for responding to parent and stakeholder inquiries. We ask that you use it to post your concerns, as well as to give a word of encouragement or a thank you to a CHS staff member that provided you with quality service. We will only get better at customer service if stakeholders let us know what it is we are doing right, as well as what we need to do better. We look forward to our continued collaboration. Let's Talk

For other SAT and ACT dates, students can apply for fee waivers. Qualifying students are eligible for two fee waivers per test. They can receive the waivers during the junior or senior year.
