My first student in my program to complete the Fresno State Reserve 108 program. She completed the two year pathway at CHS and followed her dream to become a deputy. I am so proud of her achievements. She has bragged about our program throughout her journey and how it has prepared her for her career.

Central Unified School District/Central High School-Criminology
We are honored and excited to be a school of choice in Central Unified. This means no matter where you live within our district you can choose to be a part of Central High School next year. There are many fabulous reasons to choose Central High. Reasons include having the interest to be a part of our Agriculture, Criminology, Education or Health Careers (Career Technical Education or CTE) pathways, which will only be found at CHS. Or, you might want to come to CHS for the Early College dual enrollment offerings. Early College courses are courses that give students college credit and high school credit at the same time. Grizzlies could also take a combination of CTE pathway and/or Early College courses. Or, you may want to be a part of a small campus experience while still having the opportunity to participate in activities, rallies, award-winning Visual and Performing Arts programs, and championship-winning athletics.
Our ultimate vision is for every student to be prepared for success in college, career, and community. Through our programs, and a focus on great instruction in every classroom, we believe that every student can learn. In fact, not just learn, but learn at high levels. And, we would like to work with our families and our students to make this vision happen. We also believe that our partnership with our parents and students is critical for student success. We want our students to own their learning, but we know that good communication with parents helps this ownership to happen.
