Congratulations to the Center Grove High School Class of 2026!

What a remarkable group of young people you are. Watching this class grow over the past four years has been one of the genuine privileges of leading this district. You arrived at Center Grove High School ready to work, and everything that has followed has proven that from the start, this class meant business.

This class has shown up in every arena, and in your senior year alone, you made that undeniably clear. State championships in girls basketball, boys wrestling, and robotics, plus national championships in show choir. And that is only part of the story. In classrooms, on courts and fields, and on stages, you have competed, created, and excelled in ways that have brought pride to this community.

As you step into what comes next, college, a career, military service, or a path entirely your own, know that the foundation you built here is real. The lessons, friendships, and resilience you developed at Center Grove will always be with you.

On behalf of everyone at Center Grove Community School Corporation, we are proud of you, and we are rooting for each of you.

Sincerely,

William K. Long, Ed.D. Superintendent

CONGRATULATIONS, CLASS OF 2026!

What an incredible journey these past four years have been. Throughout your time at Center Grove High School, you have made your mark in the classroom, on the stage, on the field, in clubs and activities, and in the everyday moments that make our school community special. Your talents, passions, personalities, and school spirit have helped shape CGHS, and we are proud of all you have accomplished.

People often wonder how students in a large school like Center Grove High School can truly be known as individuals. To me, the answer is simple: our staff cares deeply about students. Behind every classroom, activity, performance, competition, and conversation have been adults who believed in you and wanted the very best for your future. I hope each of you has felt cared for, challenged, celebrated, and heard during your years here, because those relationships are what make CGHS more than just a school.

As you begin your next chapter—whether that is college, a trade or technical school, the military, an apprenticeship, or the workforce—know that you are prepared. Your experiences at CGHS have helped you grow not only academically, but also as problem solvers, leaders, teammates, and compassionate individuals. You have learned how to persevere through challenges, support one another, and continue growing, even when things may have felt difficult.

Many years from now, I hope you look back on your time at CGHS with a smile and return to share the incredible things you are doing. Most importantly, I hope you always remember that you mattered here—not simply because of what you accomplished, but because of who you are as people.

You will be missed, and we are grateful for each of you. Congratulations, Class of 2026. Once a Trojan, always a Trojan!

Warmly,

Tracy McMahen Principal

Helping clients buy and sell luxury homes throughout Johnson County has made this year especially rewarding — filled with meaningful relationships, exciting opportunities, and successful closings. Every transaction represents a level of trust I value deeply, and it’s a privilege to guide clients through such an important milestone.

I’m proud to continue serving this community alongside the trusted CENTURY 21 Scheetz brand and the elevated resources that help deliver an exceptional client experience. If you’re considering a move this year, I’d love to connect and create a personalized strategy designed around your goals and lifestyle.

GUIDING GROWTH CENTER GROVE SUPERINTENDENT REFLECTS ON CAREER, COMMUNITY & LEGACY

efore his first day on the job as an assistant principal at Center Grove High School, Dr. Bill Long witnessed the corporation’s commitment to excellence at the Girls Softball State Championship Game back in 1998.

“ I watched, and honestly became so infatuated with Russ Milligan and how he coached his softball teams and how hard they played,” Long says. “And so my first exposure to Center Grove was at that state championship game before I became the assistant principal.”

At the time, Long was the youngest administrator at the high school. He came to Center Grove after serving as an assistant principal in Rushville. Living in Columbus at the time, he made a long drive each day to and from school and eventually asked if he could transfer his young children, Elizabeth and Derek, to Center Grove, before moving into the district the following winter.

Center Grove High School only had 1,800 students at that time, and the community was more rural. Long stepped in as the interim principal of CGHS in 2001 and soon became the principal. But as the streets and neighborhoods surrounding the high school changed, so did Long’s career within the corporation.

“The superintendent at the time said, ‘Hey, we have a position in the central office that we’d like for you to take.’ And it was really hard for me because I loved what I was doing. I loved being a high school

principal,” Long says. “But then I thought, those positions don’t come open very often. Do I risk saying no and miss the opportunity? So I moved to the central office and fulfilled my own prophecy. I’ve been in the central office for about 23 years now.”

After serving Center Grove as assistant superintendent of operations, Long was asked by the Center Grove School Board in 2024 to first step in as interim superintendent and later assume the role of superintendent, rounding out a distinguished career within the corporation. His son Derek, who first came to Center Grove Elementary as a young child, now brings his daughter to Walnut Grove – a full-circle moment and testament to Long’s dedication to the corporation.

“ I can’t think of a better place to be the superintendent,” Long says. “It was just thrilling, but at the same time, it’s an overwhelming responsibility.”

Points of pride for Long as he reflects on the changes and progress made over the years include school safety, facility upgrades, and energy efficiencies.

“We started off with just four cameras in the high school. We had one in each corner of the cafeteria. We’ve just grown so much and I am so proud of what we’ve accomplished and what the board has driven us to do to keep our students and staff safe,” Long says. “We created the second school police department in the state of Indiana and were the first school police department to be recognized by NASRO. We’ve put so much effort into not just having a police department, but having a great police department that is fully capable of keeping our staff safe.”

Facilities upgrades became necessary during Long’s tenure, with the building of the new Maple Grove and Walnut Grove elementaries, the closing of West Grove, expansions and renovations of current buildings, as well as academics, athletics, and performance spaces for students to excel.

Center Grove has also found innovative ways to reduce costs during a time when public education funding is being squeezed. Under Long’s leadership, Center

Grove created the first two “net zero” elementary school buildings in the state of Indiana, saving hundreds of thousands of dollars in energy costs each year.

Long looks forward to watching the implementation of the Center Grove Strategic Plan, a community project built using the voices of students, staff, administrators, parents, and community members.

“We’ve set the groundwork to continue to improve our academic performance,” says Long, whose high school graduation rate

boasted a 99.57% for last year’s graduating class, the highest in the county.

As for retirement plans, Long says he doesn’t have many plans on the calendar and looks forward to that. He and his wife Laurie plan to travel some this fall, and he says the community will still see him from time to time at sporting events and school activities – something he says he has been privileged to be a part of for so many years, adding that those events will be the hardest to miss in retirement.

“I think missing the people will be the

toughest part and the biggest adjustment,” Long says. “I like helping people solve problems.”

As for his legacy, Long says he doesn’t believe you get to choose your own legacy, but he hopes that during his decades at Center Grove, a community he loves, he made an impact.

“I hope my legacy is that I cared for kids, cared for the teachers that worked for us, and only wanted the best for Center Grove.”
