| About Central High School Cheyenne High School, the predecessor of Cheyenne Central High School, was the first high school in Wyoming, founded in 1868. Our school is a charter member of the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools. We were first accredited in 1909. We remain accredited by that organization and by the Wyoming State Department of Education. Cheyenne Central High School is a three-year high school, serving approximately 1300 students. The ethnic background of our student population is 80% White, 14% Hispanic, 3% African American, 2% Asian, and less than 1% Native American. 23% of our students receive Free/Reduced Lunch assistance and 9.5% of our students are served through Special Education. Each classroom teacher has at least a bachelor's degree with a majority holding a master's degree. In addition, we are fortunate in having one of the oldest public high school Corps of cadets in the nation. Founded in 1903, this unit now serves as an Army Junior ROTC unit. Our ROTC unit ranks as an Honor Unit with Distinction, the highest national unit ranking attainable. Top |

All grades, except AU, S/U, and W are used in the computation of grade point averages beginning with 9th and ending with the 12th grade. There is no weighting of classes. Home School grades are S/U until school district assessments have been passed, then letter grades are awarded. |
