Central High School is the project of former superintendent, Garey Reynolds, who worked after his election to secure funds necessary to implement the construction of the facility.  In conjunction with Governor Bob Riley; Clay County Board of Education Members, Jimmy Luker, Arthur Oliver, Denise Todd, Donald Harris and Shirley Dawkins; and Blue Ribbon Panel members,  Mark Bowen, Kermit Caldwell, Lorenzo Caldwell, Don Fulbright, Mike Perry, David Proctor, Don Riley, Larry Robertson, David Rush, Fredonia Smith, David Staples, Charles Stephens, Mamie Turman, Stan Wilson and Grace Wood; the project was brought into fruition and officially opened on August 14, 2012.  Since the opening, the Volunteer spirit with which it was infused has been evident in every area.  The current administration ensures this will continue.
