This week, we had the honor of celebrating five incredible ladies whose impact on Central Academy will be felt for years to come. ❤️

Mrs. Bogan, Mrs. Fields, Mrs. Mullikin, Mrs. Keeran, and Mrs. Barton have each played such an important role in shaping our school community. Their dedication, love for students, and years of service have helped make Central Academy the special place it is today. They are truly pillars of our school family.

While we will miss them dearly, we are so excited for them as they begin this new chapter filled with rest, joy, adventure, and time with loved ones. Thank you for the countless lives you have touched and the legacy you leave behind.

Congratulations on your retirement! 🎉

This week, we celebrated our amazing fifth graders with a special clap out as they finished their final days of elementary school! 💙💛

From the moment they walked our halls as young students to the leaders they are today, it has been a joy to watch them learn, grow, create, and shine. While we will miss seeing their smiling faces each day, we know they are ready for their next adventure and will continue to shine bright in middle school and beyond. ✨

Congratulations, fifth graders! 🐾
