- Central High School, often called Keller Central because of its proximity to the city of Keller, is a high school in north Fort Worth, Texas, United States.
- History
-
Central High School opened in the 2003-2004 school year with only a sophomore and freshman class. The class of 2006 was Central's first graduating class and the Class of 2007 was to be the first four year graduating class. It is the third high school built in the Keller Independent School District, preceded by Keller High School and Fossil Ridge High School.
- The school was created when citizens of Keller ISD approved a bond in the year 2000 that led to the construction of a new school. The school officially opened in August 2003. The school's name, mascot and colors were voted on by students who were to attend the school, and the new school earned the name Central High School, due to its central location between the two other KISD high schools. The mascot became the Chargers and is represented by a lightning bolt. Central quickly grew in the first three years of its existence. The school is now over its capacity of 2,500 students(currently over 3200 students), with a freshman class of nearly 1,000 students. Central is also the home of the first JROTC unit for the Keller ISD school district, AFJROTC TX-20055 Thunderbolts, in honor of the A-10 Thunderbolt II, and in keeping with the lightning bolt theme of the school.
- After only two years of varsity extracurricular experience Central was re-classified to 5A (Texas' classification for the schools with the highest student enrollment) in the 2006-2007 school year. Central is now in the UIL's district 5-5A facing, among others, their fellow district opponents, Keller High School and Fossil Ridge High School. Although doing well in mens' sports such as soccer and basketball, Central still struggles to beat any noteworthy opponents in football.
- JROTC
-
Central High School currently has an AFJROTC program. However, the program has students from all Keller ISD high schools with the program housed at Central High School. The program has won numerous awards and recognition. The current cadet body is made up of close to 180 active cadets.
- Mission Statement
-
In partnership with families and community, the mission of Central High School is to inspire in all students the desire to learn, the courage to lead, the value of proven character and the commitment to serve.

- Keller-Central High School Band
-
http://kellercentralband.org/site/
- Formed in August of 2003, the Central High School Charger Band began with 73 members. There were only 9th and 10th graders in the initial year as Keller ISD used the phase-in plan for opening the new school. In its first year the band competed in the sub-varsity marching competition as the students began to learn to march and put a show together. 14 families contributed $20 membership fees to establish the CHS Band Boosters organization. Mr. Eric Short was the charter band director chosen to lead the way for success.
- The band attended a spring festival at San Antonio and won an award for “Best in Class”. The following year the band moved to 4A Varsity competition. Another class was added and the ranks grew to over a hundred members. The band added an assistant director, Mr. Jeff Villarreal and a color guard instructor.
- The band participated in the Magic Music Days at Walt Disney World for its spring trip. The first Senior Class graduated in 2006 as the band added the fourth class to the group. The second Assistant Director, Mr. Brad Allen was added to the staff as well as marching and percussion technicians for the over 150 members.
- The band barely missed a state bid by the smallest margin in 2006 with an exciting marching show. The band traveled to Corpus Christi for the Spring Music Festival and earned division rankings in the concert season. Central was reclassified from 4A to 5A in 2006 and the Band formed a new identity as the Central High School “Charger Brigade”. The Brigade’s ranks grew to over 200 members.
- The Brigade performed its “Brain Storm” show in Birdville and Burleson marching contests and scored a rating of 1 at the UIL marching competition in Denton, thus qualifying to advance to the Area Marching Competition in Odessa, Texas. At the Area competition, the Brigade qualified as Area finalist, and on a strong evening performance ranked fifth for a designation as second alternate for State competition.
- The Drumline also competed at the Percussive Arts Society International Conference (PASIC) in Austin, Texas. The conference allowed the members of the drumline to experience an exciting competition and to attend several clinics with specialized instruction in their chosen instruments.
- The Brigade traveled to Winter Park, Colorado for its spring trip and performed in the Winter Park Ski Music Festival, achieving ratings of 1 and 2 for its concert performance.
- A very high standard of excellence has been firmly established during these formative years, and the Charger Brigade is committed to establish new traditions in the never-ending pursuit of the perfect performance on the marching field and in concert halls.
- The Charger Brigade began the 2007-2008 school year with just over 200 members.
- The new marching show “Flexion” featured props, special performances by various sections of the band, increased choreography for the color guard, and a “Soldier Boy” dance by the band that proved to be a real crowd-pleaser.
- The Brigade enjoyed a successful contest season, advancing to the Finals at both the Birdville and Aledo Marching Competitions. The Brigade finished the marching season on a positive note by achieving a Division One ranking at the UIL Regional Competition in Denton. The Drum Line competed at the Lone Star Classic Drum Line Competition in Lewisville, gaining an 8th place finish among the 5A schools present.
- The Cymbal Line scored a major accomplishment by earning honors as the top Cymbal Line in the competition. This was the first caption award won by any Charger Brigade section in school history.
- For Spring Trip in 2008, the Brigade traveled to the Director’s Choice Music Festival in San Antonio, where the band sought to continue its tradition of outstanding musical performances.
