Mrs. Kensinger and Mrs. Starkey received the Excellence in Education Award because their students demonstrated exceptional academic growth compared to other students across Utah who began at similar achievement levels. These awards recognize educators whose teaching helped students to improve more than most of their peers statewide and highlights their impact on student learning and progress.
We would like to extend our sincere thanks to the You Are the Heart Murdock Family Foundation for making this award possible. We also appreciate Kara Toone from the Davis Education Foundation and Director Jason Smith for taking the time to personally recognize and present this award to our outstanding educators.

Student's in Mrs. Barber's Latinos In Action (LIA) class and our Multicultural Advisory Council (MAC) group had the opportunity to hear from Raul Sanchez from our OEO department. His message was inspiring and encouraged students to recognize their potential and the impact they can have in their school and community.

Students in Mr. Ferlin’s Psychology class had the opportunity to examine sheep brains as part of a hands-on lab. This activity helped them better understand brain structure and how the different parts of the brain work together. Experiences like this bring learning to life.

We had an amazing Stand4Kind assembly!
Students were inspired to think about kindness, empathy, resilience, and how they can stand up for themselves and others in our school community. This powerful presentation gave everyone practical strategies for creating a positive, supportive school culture and reminded us that we all have the ability to make our school a kinder place.
Thank you to @Stand4Kind for coming to speak with us and helping our students feel empowered and connected!

We are so proud of the hard work, dedication, and teamwork these students have shown all season. They have represented our school so well at every meet, and we can’t wait to see them shine in today’s tournament.
Let’s go CENTRAL!
It was such a fun evening filled with excitement, questions, and lots of great conversations about the upcoming school year. Students had the chance to explore programs, meet teachers, and start thinking about all the opportunities waiting for them in their very first year of junior high.
There is something really special about seeing that mix of nerves and excitement as students begin this next chapter. We are so grateful to the families who came out to learn more and support their students.
We can’t wait to welcome our newest class next year!
