Good evening! This is Principal Hettenbach from High Point Central High School with a message from the Boulevard.
Our countdown is on. 148 days down. 20 days left until underclass local and state exams during the last 7 days. Learning Hubs are offered Tuesday and Thursday from 4:15 until 6 each week. Please help us with making sure your student is on time and ready to work each and every one of these remaining days.
Congratulations to our 51 students who were accepted into High Point Central’s Beta Club! The induction ceremony will be held on this Monday, April 28th, at 6:00 in the auditorium. Dress code is semi-formal, and dessert will be served after the ceremony. This marks our 90th anniversary of our charter here at High Point Central!
Taking place on May 1 each year, National College Decision Day is the unofficial deadline for accepting enrollment at a college or university. High Point Central will celebrate all graduating seniors on this day for their decisions to further their education, join the military or enter the workforce. Food, raffles and giveaways will be on hand. Please remember to bring your college acceptance letters and scholarship offers. Don’t miss this opportunity to celebrate with your classmates.
Do you have any prom dresses you would like to donate to our school to assist some of our young females for the prom? If so, please bring them to the school.
Thank you for all your donations to date!
Seniors and early grads, please make every effort to put some money down for your cap and gown, as Herff Jones will increase their prices as we navigate through the year. The price was $114.22 and the price goes up $5 every two weeks. Please remember to put all graduation timeline dates into your calendar, and start talking to your employers now to make sure you are off from any other obligations. See Mrs. Hughes, Mrs. Stafford in the Main Office or Mrs. Nwabueze if you have questions about graduation.
If you miss the cap and gown pick up on Tuesday, April 29th at HPC, you will need to pick up your gear at Herff Jones, 1031 Chapel Hill Road, Burlington, NC 27215

I hope you have heard the amazing news! High Point Central was named the prestigious Hubert Humphrey Most Improved School at the state of the county banquet. This is a testament to the passion and perseverance of our amazing staff, the students that work hard, use resources in front of them and set high goals. The parents and guardians who advocate for their student while also supporting the school, and of course our powerful alumni and community members! If you have not seen the news segment, simply go to google and type in High Point Central Hubert Humphrey award. WFMY did a great job!
As we continue to navigate through the year, please make sure you are following our athletics clear bag policy.
Sign Up Today for Free High-Speed Internet for 2+ years
The Technology and Data Institute (TDI) in partnership with Guilford County Schools (GCS) and Lumos is offering a FREE pilot service for the next 2+ years to connect eligible students to digital classroom tools while at home, riding the school bus, and within the community. Eligible students must attend one of four schools – Fairview Elementary, Penn-Griffin School for the Arts, Ferndale Middle School, or High Point Central – and reside in a neighborhood served by Lumos Fiber. The pilot program will provide free service through June 2026 and then will seek to secure federal or state funding to continue the program beyond that date.
As we have all learned, having internet access to classroom tools (now) and job opportunities and health services (lifelong) are fundamental to success in today’s classroom and society.
This program is truly as good as it sounds with NO added costs or strings attached. You will be contacted shortly by school officials to describe program benefits, including:
Flexible, no-cost access to high-speed home internet through June 2026. Automatic connection for your student’s Chromebook or iPad via a wireless service called “eduroam.”Roaming access to modern learning tools at school, home, on selected school buses and community sites throughout Guilford County, and at thousands more locations nationwide!
