Central High School is a public secondary school in St. Joseph, Missouri. The school is a part of the St. Joseph School District.[1]

The school was first established on May 8, 1895, when St. Joseph High School was built at 13th & Olive Street. The building opened on May 6, 1896. It was renamed Central High School in 1910. In 1932, a new Central High School was erected at 26th & Edmond Street. With a rapidly growing student population, the building was expanded in 1961 with a 24-room addition, now called the Sophomore Annex (or Sophomore hallway). In 1968, the 25-room addition now known as the Freshman Annex was added (often simply called the Freshman building). A bond-renovation project was completed in 2002 that included relocation and centralization of the administrative and counseling offices, as well as the addition of a new media center and library, a gym renovation, and science lab upgrades.
