Message from the Principal
Finishing First Quarter and Starting Second Quarter Strong!
As the first quarter comes to a close, we’re proud of the hard work, resilience, and accomplishments our high school students have shown. From challenging coursework to extracurricular achievements, First quarter has been a time of growth and perseverance.
Report cards will be available on the portal on November 6th, offering a great opportunity for students to reflect on their progress, celebrate successes, and identify areas to improve. The start of second quarter brings a clean slate—another chance to set new goals, strengthen study habits, and stay focused on long-term success, whether that means preparing for exams, college applications, or personal growth.
Let’s keep the momentum going! With dedication and a positive mindset, second quarter can be even stronger than the first.

What's Happening at Central Crossing
Building Safety and Exit Procedures
In our ongoing effort to keep the building safe and secure, students with lockout should only exit the building through the main entrance/exit. Reminders have been posted at other doors to direct students to the proper exit locations. Please note that students who do not follow this expectation may lose their lockout privilege or face school disciplinary action. Thank you for your cooperation in helping us maintain a safe environment for everyone.
Seniors - College Application Priority Deadline
November 1st is a priority deadline for some colleges, one being The Ohio State University. If you are applying to a college with a Nov. 1st deadline, you must request your transcript through Xello by Weds Oct. 29th. Transcript requests made after Oct 29th are not guaranteed to be processed before Nov. 1.
