As the new assistant principal and 12-month data administrator, Amy Ellis is in charge of attendance, grading, scheduling, teacher support and student support. A big, short-term goal is to help improve attendance.

Amy Ellis still finds it hard to find her way around the labyrinth of Central High School. The numbered sides are, like all newcomers, something she had to figure out in order to traverse the halls. Ellis succeeds Danielle Brandt as Assistant Principal, a position Brandt held for three years before....

“I just couldn’t wait to tell people that I had this incredible knowledge, but I also felt a little bit of sadness too because this story has kind of become a big part of my life. I spent years looking into it, and I’ve always felt a personal connection to the story. Part of it, frankly, was the Central High connection.”

The case of Leslie Arnold, a former Central student, went cold in 1967 after his elaborate escape from the Nebraska State Penitentiary. Fifty years later, Central alumni Henry Cordes played a key role in solving the forgotten case. William and Opal Arnold’s lives were taken by fatal gunshots at 64...

“You’re the CEO, the CFO, the marketing department and public relations. It never ends,” Berzins said.

On weekdays, you can find Kristoff Berzins on the third-floor teaching biology classes or coaching the varsity swim team after school. But on the weekends, he transforms into a dynamic wedding planner and bartender. Berzins spends most of his free time working for his wife’s business, Magnolia Eve...

Sports culture is a major part of what forms an outside perspective of the United States, and three exchange students are experiencing that through their participation in sports at Central.

This year, Central is hosting three foreign exchange students who are using sports teams to gain the full American experience. Zita Eyskens is from Antwerp, Belgium, and is a setter on the Central junior varsity volleyball team. Carl-Johan (CJ) Magnusson is from Örebro, Sweden, and is a cornerback ...

"Generational perspectives of appropriateness are one reason students feel upset about being dress-coded. Teachers who are decades older grew up in a society that had a stricter idea about what one should look like when in a school environment."

I have been at Central High for two years, and previously, the dress code has never been enforced. Yet, during the first weeks of school, with heat indexes reaching close to 115 degrees, primarily female students were told that their clothing was inappropriate for school. School should not be the pl...

From last week: two junior defensive ends on the Eagle football team are garner D1 interest.

Currently sitting at 2-3, the Eagles are working to recover from last season’s disappointing 1-9 football record. Along with a revamped coaching staff, and reshaped squad, Central has a powerhouse tight end/defensive end junior duo: Ike Ackerman and Alijah Wayne. In his varsity career, Wayne has 9...

Eh Khu Poe will oversee a staff of 21 students as the yearbook editor in chief. The staff is tasked with creating an end-of-year publication that commemorates the people, events and culture of Central High School during the 2023-2024 school year.

Senior Eh Khu Poe will serve as Editor-in-Chief of The O-Book this school year, having been selected to lead Central’s yearbook by Adviser Brody Hilgenkamp in May.

The diversity of Central’s student body is not reflected in its advanced classes, where affluent and white students are vastly overrepresented while students of color and economically disadvantaged students are consistently underrepresented.

The first time Betsy Yadira Tenorio-Hernandez traveled between worlds was when she stepped into Honors Chemistry. After taking remote classes her entire freshman year, she entered her sophomore accelerated science class on her first day in person at Central to find only one other Latino student. “...
