"Every child in our schools today is, in fact, an American dream waiting to come true. While most citizens probably don't think about the purposes of education in such idealistic terms, we believe that Center's goal for the 21st century should be to create schools where dreams can come true for all children and families. Any community can have outstanding schools when educators, parents, young people and community leaders share a passionate belief in this kind of vision - a vision of excellence which can never be completely defined by test scores and graduation statistics."
Adapted from "Meeting the Challenge, Providing Superior Public Education for All Missouri Students - 1998"

Welcome to the Center School District. Center School District is a fully accredited pre-kindergarten through 12th grade district located in the southern part of Kansas City. The District has a full range of academic programs designed to prepare students for continued education at colleges, universities, and technical schools as well as post high school employment. The district embraces the cultural diversity of its student population as a way of enriching their experiences and better preparing them for success in the world in which they will live and work. Although the district is located in Kansas City, its student population of 2500 and the small class sizes provide an urban environment with many of the advantages of a small community. The updated class rooms of the Center District all include SMART Board technology. This 21st century instructional tool provides our talented teaching staff with exciting possibilities to enhance students’ educational experiences. Almost 60% of Center teachers hold a Master's degree or higher. Center High School carries an A+ designation by the state providing Center graduates who choose to attend community colleges with some financial resources.
