Central High School is a public high school in north Fort Worth,Texas, United States.
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.
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 7-5A facing, among others, their fellow district opponents, Keller High School and Fossil Ridge High School. Although doing well in men's sports such as soccer and basketball, Central has won District Champs in 2013, by beating the other 3 high schools. For the first time ever, the varsity football team has a record of 5-0 in the 2011 fall season. The Men's Basketball team of 2011-2012 has also had an outstanding record being named number one in district year 2012. In 2012 they also made their way into the playoffs. They have now been there 3-Consecutive times.
Central High School has an AFJROTC program. However, the program has students from all Keller ISD high schools with the program located at Central High School. The program has won awards and some recognition. The current cadet body is made up of close to 160 active cadets.
