On Wednesday, September 20, Central held its annual Great Round Challah Bake. The Challah Bake is an event that many at Central have come to eagerly anticipate - an opportunity for the school community to bond and daven during the Aseres Yimei Teshuva. "The Great Round Challah Bake is always a meaningful occasion for Central - a chance to be together at the beginning of the semester,” said Dean of Students Mrs. Aliza Gewirtz (‘06).

The class of 2027 took a break from their regular classes last Thursday and headed into the woods for their annual Freshman Hike. After shiur, the boys boarded the buses together with their rebbeim and enjoyed the challenging trail.

It’s a new school year at Central! Preparations for opening week began with a new faculty orientation on Tuesday, August 30. New Wildcat faculty members bonded over icebreakers, a tour of the Central facility, and training sessions on technology and school culture. The evening of the 30th brought all faculty members together for a reunion with Central’s first annual Faculty Family Fun night, offering dinner, lawn games, and a popular bouncy castle for our faculty members’ children. The following day, faculty members used morning and afternoon development sessions to reflect on the past year and anticipate the year to come.
