History

Cheyenne High School, the predecessor of Cheyenne Central High School, was the first high school in Wyoming, founded in 1868. The school is a charter member of the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools. Cheyenne Central High School was first accredited in 1904 and continues to be accredited by that organization and by the Wyoming State Department of Education.

Academics

Cheyenne Central offers 21 Advanced Placement programs. For the 2012-2013 school year, Cheyenne Central made Adequate Yearly Progress in accordance with the Federal No Child Left Behind Act.

JROTC

Cheyenne Central is home to the second oldest JROTC unit in the United States behind Fort Leavenworth, Kansas (1897 - officially formed on 1917). The program was started in 1903, initially offering the class at Cheyenne High School (now called Cheyenne Central High School). It was initially run as a cooperative effort between the Wyoming National Guard and the Laramie County School Board. Since 1916, the program has been a cooperative effort between the school district and the U.S. Army. This unit is currently a Honor Unit (Top 50% in the Nation)
