History

Built and opened in 1920 as West Allis High School, the school's name was changed to West Allis Central in 1941. The original building was closed in 1973, when the school moved to its present location on West Lincoln Ave.

Programs

Central offers few academic programs. Programs like Project Lead The Way were cut, due to budget restraints and low student attendance in those classes. The 2022-2023 school year will be the last that the school offers AVID. Central still offers auto and woodworking programs along with other trade classes.
