Central High School (Keller, Texas)

Central High School, often called Keller Central because of its proximity to the city of Keller, is a high school in north Fort Worth, Texas, United States. [Fort Worth Mapsco Street Guide & Directory, page 22Z]

History

Central High School opened in the 2003-2004 school year with only a sophomore and freshman class. The class of 2006 was Central's first graduating class and the Class of 2007 was to be the first four year graduating class. It is the third high school built in the Keller Independent School District, preceded by Keller High School and Fossil Ridge High School.

The school was created when citizens of Keller ISD approved a bond in the year 2000 that led to the construction of a new school. The school officially opened in August 2003. The school's name, mascot and colors were voted on by students who were to attend the school, and the new school earned the name Central High School, due to its central location between the two other KISD high schools. The mascot became the Chargers and is represented by a lightning bolt. Central quickly grew in the first three years of its existence. The school is now over its capacity of 2,500 students(currently over 3200 students), with a freshman class of nearly 1,000 students. Central is also the home of the first JROTC unit for the Keller ISD school district, AFJROTC TX-20055 Thunderbolts, in honor of the A-10 Thunderbolt II, and in keeping with the lightning bolt theme of the school.

After only two years of varsity extracurricular experience Central was re-classified to 5A (Texas' classification for the schools with the highest student enrollment) in the 2006-2007 school year. Central is now in the UIL's district 5-5A facing, among others, their fellow district opponents, Keller High School and Trinity High School (Euless, Texas).

JROTC

Central High School currently has an AFJROTC program. However, the program has students from all Keller ISD high schools with the program housed at Central High School. The program has won numerous awards and recognition. The current cadet body is made up of close to 180 active cadets.
