Central High School
Central High School, Public high school in Logan, Philadelphia, United States
Central High School stands at 1700 West Olney Avenue, featuring classical architecture with a student population of over 2,300 across grades nine through twelve.
Founded in 1836, Central High School served exclusively male students until 1983, when it became coeducational following a significant legal decision in 1975.
The school maintains a class numbering system for graduating classes instead of traditional year designations, continuing a practice from its early educational history.
Students receive Chromebook technical support each morning in room 329, ensuring continuous access to digital learning resources and educational platforms.
An 1849 Act of Assembly granted Central High School the authority to confer academic degrees upon graduates, making it the sole high school with this power.
