I've been in Catholic education since kindergarten. However, I went from a Catholic high school,(freshmen year)to a charter school (presently, sophomore year). But, I don't think I'm getting my 'money's worth', so to speak. That's why I'm interested in attending Central for junior and senior year. I currently have A's and B's at this school, but the B's WILL become A's before this year ends. I just want to know if it's possibly to go to Central for eleventh and twelfth grade?
