New School Complex Among School Board’s Achievements

During the current 2010-2014 term, the Central Community School Board completed construction of the new $55 million school complete on Sullivan Road.  The school complex, which opened in 2012, includes Central Middle School with a capacity of 1,200 students from the 6th through the 8th grades and Central Intermediate School, with capacity for another 1,200 students from the 3rd through the 5th grades.
Ordinary classrooms have 750 square feet of space, and other classrooms have 1,000 or more.  The classrooms are state of the art and include presentation table with computer for teachers, pull down screens, and wi-fi.
The cafeteria can seat 1,200 to 1,300 for lunch and 700 for banquets. There are two gyms — a practice gym and a competiton gym. The competition gym, which is better than many small colleges,  includes additional goals and volleyball.  Each school has its own library.  Teachers have many amenities including convenient restrooms, work rooms, shared prep rooms for science labs, and much more.
There are practice fields for football, baseball, and softball. The central courtyard has a clock tower and learning displays.
