Central High School is a public, coeducational secondary school in San Angelo, Texas. It is part of the San Angelo Independent School District. The school serves grades 10-12, while a freshman campus serves grade 9. Its mascot is the Bobcat. The school serves much of San Angelo and the unincorporated community of Tankersley.
With a reported enrollment of 2,993 (which combines the freshman campus and high school enrollments), the Bobcats of San Angelo Central compete with some of Texas' largest high schools as a member of Conference 6A of the University Interscholastic League, the state's governing body for public-school competition.
The Lady Cat soccer team, led by head coach Ben Henry, has made the playoffs four years running (2008-2011), three times being knocked out in the bidistrict round (2009, 2010, 2011) and once in the area championship game (2008). The men's soccer team won the regional soccer tournament and went on to the state tournament in 2001. This is the first time Central has made it to the state tournament in the school's history. The Lady Cat Soccer team made the playoffs each year from 2002-2005, and reached the round of 16 in 2002. After a hard-fought loss in overtime in Bedford, TX, several of the team members returned home with severe injuries. These included a broken hip, a broken foot, and a torn anterior cruciate ligament, all which directly came as a result from playing on a poorly maintained artificial-turf pitch.
