About the Central High School Heritage Room
The CHS Heritage Room is room is located in the oldest wing of Central High School (established 1893). The room was converted into an office space in 2020, but prior to that time this area housed scrapbooks, pictures, newspapers, and various memorabilia that accumulated over the decades. These items are currently being stored in the library or in archival storage containers** on the first floor. The CHS library staff began to digitally archive the Heritage Room collection during the summer of 2017. This is a long term project that will be completed with the help of student and adult volunteers.* Please visit the website and the links below to view our progress.
