Central Elementary School

Welcome to Central Elementary

As a small yet vibrant school nestled in the heart of Amherst County, Central Elementary has been the first step in the academic journey for generations of students since opening in 1963. Known for its caring culture and community ties, the school continues to be a place where students are nurtured, challenged, and inspired.

Since opening, Central Elementary has undergone five renovations and construction projects.
