Coordinates: 37°45′21″N 84°17′27″W / 37.755907°N 84.290846°W Madison Central High School is a public high school located in Richmond, Kentucky, United States. The school has a current enrollment of approximately 2000 students.
The original Central High School was built in 1938 and was one of several small high schools in Madison County. Additions were made to the school beginning in 1953 and Madison Central (consolidated) High School was opened in the fall of 1954. Central was a consolidation of four Madison County system high schools (Central, Kingston, Waco and Kirksville). It was the lone high school in the county system until Madison Southern High School was opened in the fall of 1988. In 1989, Richmond's city high school (Madison) was dissolved and its students were moved to Central. Madison Central currently serves the citizens of Richmond and the northern sector of Madison County.
In 2003, the school underwent a major renovation project, which included a new cafeteria. In 2005-2006, an auditorium was built on the school campus, as well as remodeling the hallway section that leads to it and the health building gymnasium, and new sets of classrooms and a lecture hall under the auditorium.
Its mascot is the Indians.
The Madison Central Indians football team won a district championship in the 2011-2012 season. The team plays at the 6A level.
The school baseball team won the 1982 Kentucky High School State Baseball Championship by going 40-0. That team was coached by Don Richardson, whom the field was named after in 2008. The team is now led by Coach Steve Roof.
The basketball team won the State Championship in 2013 and the 11th region in 1987, 1999, 2006 and 2013. The 1999 squad was the only Madison Central team to win the Kentucky State AAU Championship and was led by former Kentucky Wildcat Marquis Estill and high school standouts Kenneal Jenkins, Chuckie Campbell, and Brandon Fritz (now freshman coach for the Indians). Kenneal Jenkins and underclassman Ryan Jones, both on the 1999 basketball team, also established themselves on the football field, Jones holding multiple passing records for the Indians. Their coach is currently Allen Feldhaus Jr., who is the brother of Deron Feldhaus, a member of the "Unforgettable" 1991-92 University of Kentucky (UK) basketball team. Dominique Hawkins became the first Madison Central player to win Mr. Basketball in 2013, and played for the University of Kentucky from 2013-2017.
