I was actually a national merit scholar from CHS in the early nineties. And I can confirm that it was a very accepting culture. I grew up as the nerdy kid and walked into that building terrified of being bullied. What I discovered was a community that cheered on the Science Olympiad team as wildly as they did the basketball team. I'm very proud of being a Central grad. SPS overall has some great schools with amazing teachers, but I wouldn't trade my experience at Central High for anywhere else.
