Dream Big. Excel Always. Center Proud.
Small but mighty, our South KC center is family-focused and community-driven, partnering with groups that support our students and staff every day.
Founded over 100 years ago, Center has grown from a rural schoolhouse to a diverse urban district rooted in community, tradition, and continuous growth.
Our 2,600 students represent 26 languages and rich diversity. Center is committed to equity and helping every student learn, grow, and serve their community.
Over 400 dedicated professionals lead with care, equity, and excellence, helping students thrive academically, socially, and emotionally.
Center focuses on real-world learning, STEAM, and growth mindset so every student graduates with college credit and skills for success.
Center athletes thrive through teamwork and competition, with strong community partnerships and a record of championships and upgraded facilities.
Students grow through band, drama, choir, and more—learning teamwork, creativity, and the joy of shared expression.
Center is a family where lasting relationships form—from the first day of school to graduation day and beyond.
