The Central High School is a school located in Santurce barrio of San Juan, Puerto Rico.
The 1925-built building was listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places in 1987.[1]
It is a three-story, U-shaped building with Spanish Renaissance architecture.[2]
Its National Register nomination asserts that "Central High School is, for many reasons, the most important school structure built in Puerto Rico in the first decades of the XXth century."[2]
It was built as part of a building program that also yielded the Ponce High School, built in 1915, and the Gautier Benítez High School in Caguas, built in 1924.
