Central High School is a public high school in Central, Louisiana, United States, in the Baton Rouge metropolitan area. It is the only high school in the Central Community School System.

The Central school system serves the entire city of Central,[2][3] as well as a section of the Brownfields census-designated place and another small unincorporated area.[4]

A 9th-grade academy building was planned as a way of relieving congestion within the main school facility and was finished in 2015.[5] [6]
