TC Central High School Atrium Project

The Atrium Project is a tribute to the history, tradition and Trojan Pride of Central High School. As our Atrium area is a key entry point for students, parents and visitors, we want to create a centerpiece that will be both welcoming and informative. Plans include a tile mosaic of a Trojan, trophy cases to highlight the areas of art, music, theatre, academics and athletics, an updated Hall of Fame area and a welcome and visitors guide to Central High School.

To get this project off the ground we are looking for donations that will be recognized on our donor wall as it takes shape. We are excited to get the Atrium Project off the ground and can't do it without the support of people like you! Go Trojans!  Donate to Central's Atrium Project by visiting our External Linkdonation webpage.
