[edit] History
Westosha Central High School was originally named Salem Central High School. Parents of the school's state champion girls' volleyball team complained because many of the players were not from Salem; in fact, the school itself was in Paddock Lake. The name was changed to Westosha Central High School in the early 1980s, Westosha referring to the fact that the school was west of Kenosha as well as differentiating from Walter Reuther Central High School, a special curriculum high school in nearby Kenosha. In common usage, Westosha Central High School is referred to as "Central," whereas Walter Reuther Central High School is often referred to as simply "Reuther."
In the May 8, 2006 issue of Newsweek, Central High School was listed at number 835 on the "Best High Schools" lt.[1][dead link]
