20 1G CENTRAL HIGH 22.2





"Look at situations from all angles and you will become more open" - Dalai Lama
At Champaign Central High School, every student has his or her own story, perspective, or angle. With a population as diverse as Central's, there are many different voices to be heard. Students see things differently than teachers, and teachers see things differently than administration. Every story is unique and special.
Students are shaped by the classes they take and the friends they make in high school. Freshmen come into high school with a fresh, new perspective. Their mind starts off as a clean slate,butastheywalkthroughthedoorsthemorningoftheir very first day, their mind evolves and creates new perceptions.
As asophomore, students think that they have been officially welcomed into high school. However, sophomores still have three more years left of learning to be completed. While their mind has expanded over the past year and created new points of view, Champaign Central still has much more to offer as the years go on.
Junior year, the students’ minds really get put to the test. They face challenges in and out of their classrooms, with the responsibilities of being an upperclassman and the introduction to life after high school. They gain new experiences and view points as they take on the ACT and AP classes. But there are still some angles that need to be opened.
Seniors leave with a completed point of view of how it feels to be a Central Maroon. The transformation they have experienced over the past four years has shaped them into individuals ready to take on their own lives and reach for their goalsinthenearfuture.Centralprovideseverythingtheyneed to grow into adults, but also creates memories to last a lifetime! The angles that the seniors have created over the previous years have formed a perfect 360.

Central High School offers a variety of fun events and activities that both students and staff can enjoy. These include homecoming spirit week, school dances, sporting events, extracurricular clubs, and more. Every event a student attends, they have an opportunity to make new friends and bond with different people over the activities they love. The student life at Central really brings people closer together and ties friendships tighter than ever before. Every student experiences high school from their own perspective, making each memory one of their own. One of the best qualities Central has is the diversity amongst all the students and staff. The fact that everyone takes on their own angle allows various opinions and outlooks on high school to be shared with one another. Student life consists of so many unique angles that altogether constructs one united school.

rom is an event that students look forward to every year, and Central's Under the Big Top was one to remember! The iHotel was adorned with circus themed decorations and the night flowed seamlessly thanks to the junior class officers. To start off the night, students enjoyed dinner provided by the iHotel. After enjoying their delicious meals, students danced the night away on the dance floor alongside their friends. The night continued with post prom at CRCE. Continuing the festivities, students sang along to karaoke, swam, played a variety of sports, played on inflatables, and munched on more food. Overall, Prom was very successful and left seniors with some of their best memories during their time at Central.

(): August 19th, freshman students came to Central High School for their first day of school. To start off their day, students went to Combes Gym to pick up their schedules. After, students went to their classes to get to know teachers and students. During first hour, upperclassmen helped the freshman with their lockers. Throughout the rest of the day, students played games in their classes to get to know each other. They played Central Jeopardy, two truths and a lie, and wrote letters to themselves to set goals for their freshman year. In 8th hour, students had aquad day in the west gym. This is where students could sign up for any clubs or activities they were interested in. After the freshman signed up for their clubs, they rotated through group activities to get to know the school. At the end of the day, all students met in Combes Gym. They could participate in games of knockout, a relay race, and an egg toss. Throughout the day, the students were able to get help from volunteer upperclassmen and teachers around the school. On August 20th, all levels had their first day of school. Like the freshman, they go to Combes Gym to pick up their schedules and catch up with their friends. After they pick up their schedules, they go to all of their classes to meet their new teachers.

Driving to school together in the mornings and sharing inside jokes can make high school more enjoyable. Having a part of the family at school to count on is always a plus.

Every student brings his or her own unique qualities and skills to Central High School's athletic program. All student athletes at Central share a few special characteristics. They are all hardworking and dedicated to their sport. Many student athletes participate in more than one sport and have a different perspective than those who do not. Coaches see things from a different angle than the athletes they train, but they work in harmony to achieve success together. Their differences make the bonds between them stronger. The athletes and coaches use the unique perspectives they have to improve their skills and unify their teams. The athletic program at Central is inspiring From Any Angle.

The third week of the season brought the first loss to the Maroons, a tough game against Peoria Notre Dame High School, who proved t0 be the toughest regular season opponent. Central then went ona tear forthe rest of the season, winning six cons¢Cutive games to close out the regular season.

Wwe playing sports and going to school dances are an important part of high school, what students are really here for isto learn. Central isall about guiding students along their path of education that will eventually lead to graduation. During high school, students will recognize the tools they need to succeed in their future. By the time students reach graduation, they will have evolved into the person they need to be for their life long journey.
Electives give students the chance to explore their specific interests or allow them to practice what they know they want to do. If students want to continue those interests outside of the school day, they can join one of Central's innumerable clubs to meet other people who share the same passion.
Students challenge themselves by taking accelerated or AP classes, preparing for work after high school. If students succeed in their rigorous courses, they will be awarded with an Academic letter or an invitation into National Honor Society. Counselors and teachers are always encouraging their students to push themselves so they can be ready for the next step after high school.

rED ALL WER RE PE THE

a Central High School, the arts programs are very encouraged and supported by peers and the staff. Being a part of an art's program allows students to truly express themselves through music, movement, singing, and creating. Being in high school requires great academic efforts that can consume lots of time. To escape the stress of school work, students can join various programs like theater, dance team, band, color guard, orenroll increative artclasses. Specifically, Central offers courses like Art Survey, Cultural Arts, Ceramics, Photography, Painting, Drawing, and Sculpting. When students sign up for these classes, they are granted the opportunity to utilize their creative talents and imagination to construct their best work while receiving credit for graduation. By trying out just asingle art class, auditioning for ashow or team, or pursuing music, students can open doors to new interests they have discovered. This simple step away from the comfort zone can result in students taking more advanced classes or improving their skills in the future to excel with their talents. Particularly, students who stay with their artistic activities get the chance to build up their accomplishments, such as landing a main role in a play, moving upa chair in band, getting a solo in the choir, calling themselves captain of a team, or having their artwork displayed and featured in different platforms. Although there are many different variations of art, all of the students who pursue their artistic abilities unite under one school to create an admirable program and reputation of Central High School. The support that the Central art program receives truly builds up the confidence of the participating students and permits them totake theirtalents to anew level, showing the school just how exceptional they are.

tudents look forward to their senior year all S throughout their time at Central High School. With seniority comes many privileges, such as standing in the front row of the bleacher bums section, or winning the Powderpuff game no matter the score. Senior year is one of the hardest years of high school. Students decide what they want from and for their futures. Just when true friendships are formed, graduation comes. While some friendships and relationships do not last, many become the basis of lifelong friendships. Central High School marks the beginning of many students’ futures and graduation signals their release into the world.
Every senior, whether they begin atCentral ortransfer in, has adifferent outlook on lifethan when they entered. The students ofCentral come from all walks of life but by the end oftheir high school career, they find acommon ground and make bonds that lastalifetime. Each student sees high school, their fellow students, teachers, and life,with anew perspective.
While it can be difficult to leave Central, the school's many students have learned to call home, it is just one more step towards their future. Whatever that may be.

W° a crazy year! The 106th Maroon was a joy to create. We made it our goal to cover as many events and people as we could. We loved creating this book and we loved meeting new students and getting to know Central High School better. It has been a true honor being the editors for this wonderful yearbook.
Big thanks to Jon Kauffman--you were the best representative we could have ever asked for. You taught us so much and we never would have finished the book without your help with extending deadlines.
Shout out to Liz Brunson, HR Imaging, Illini Studio, and all the students, staff, and parents who supplied us with amazing pictures. We really could not have made this book without your help!
Thank you to the 2015-16 yearbook staff for all your creative ideas and hard work! We loved teaching you and watching you grow. Thank you for all that you have taught us as well. We know that we can be kind of crazy sometimes, but you all did a great job dealing with us.
Good luck to the 107th yearbook staff and editors. We hope next year you can know the feeling of creating a historical document you can be proud of and call your own. We believe in you and we know you will do a great job carrying on the Maroon name.
HUGE THANKS to Ms. Sal! We love you so much and we are so thankful for your support. Your bright spirit motivates and4 s us everyday. We will miss you everyday, but don't worry, your kind wor. ll always stay with us.
