Central MS Academics
CELEBRATION OF EXCELLENCE
The Celebration of Excellence at Middle School Central is designed to recognize the outstanding academic achievement of our students throughout the school year. At the end of each of the four quarters, students in each grade who earn a 3.5 GPA or higher will be honored for their dedication, effort, and commitment to academic success.
Students are selected based on their quarterly grade point average, allowing us to recognize excellence consistently and celebrate growth across the entire school year. We look forward to celebrating the hard work and achievements of our outstanding Middle School Central scholars each quarter.
