Central High (Continuation)

School Overview
Central High School in Morgan Hill, California, functions as the district’s alternative education site, commonly referred to as a "continuation" high school. These institutions are specifically designed to support students who may benefit from a non-traditional learning environment. The school provides a flexible academic setting that focuses on credit recovery and personalized instruction, helping students who have fallen behind in their credits or who thrive better in smaller, more intimate classroom settings to get back on track toward graduation.

The primary mission of Central High is to provide a path to a high school diploma for students who may struggle with the pace or structure of a comprehensive high school. By maintaining smaller class sizes and fostering closer relationships between students and staff, the school creates a supportive community aimed at improving both academic performance and personal accountability. Ultimately, Central High serves as a vital resource within the Morgan Hill Unified School District, ensuring that students have access to the academic support and guidance necessary to successfully complete their secondary education and prepare for post-graduate opportunities.
