Center High School is a high school located at 3111 Center Court Lane, in Antelope, California, United States. The school opened up in its current location in 1984. It is one of two high schools in the Center Unified School District.
Center High School was under construction for years until it opened in 1982. However, it moved during the summer of 1984. The school's main objective is to make every student a well-developed member of their multiethnic society, and "to become actively involved in developing full potential as a human being." The school's Media Communications Academy (MCA), which is defined as "a school within a school", is dedicated to new media, video and audio production, and digital graphics. The current MCA Department chairman is Matt Chamberlain.
Most of the school's theater productions are housed in the Performing Arts building. The school is also known for its diversity.
Blue & Gold is a school newspaper that covers topics dealing with events and going-ons within the High School as well as in popular entertainment. Its sections include "News", "Scene", "Center Spread", "Athletics", "Forum", and "Photo Essay". Blue & Gold was awarded with multiple Scholastic Crowns from the Columbia Scholastic Press Association in the years 1999, 2001, 2003, 2004, 2005, and 2006 all being Gold awards. After changing 3 Advisers in one year, the 07–08 Newspaper was awarded a Silver Crown.
Center High School's "Epic" yearbook had received seven National Pacemaker Awards. It has also won multiple awards from the Columbia Scholastic Press Association in 1998 (Silver), 1999 (Gold), 2000 (Gold), 2002 (Silver), 2003 (Silver), 2004 (Silver), 2005 (Gold), and 2006 (Gold). In 2007-2008, The Epic Yearbook converted from the traditional black-and-white print to an all-color print. The upcoming 2010 design also received two awards at the 2009 Yearbooks CA summer workshop including New Voice (AP Design) and Opening Copy (Experienced Yearbook).
