Two Campuses - One School

Although the Main Campus (Grades 10-12) and the Oakes Campus (9th Grade) are located on two different sites, we are...

One Student Body
One Team...
One Family...

WE ARE... ONE CENTRAL BOBCAT NATION!

You are joining a tradition that began in 1959.

An Inovative Campus

Nationally recognized, Central's state-of-the-art design was ahead of it's time. CHS was the first college-style, high school campus, and it now includes over 20 buildings on a 40 acres.

The Bobcat - A Gathering Place

Originally the site of a water feature, the Bobcat sculpture is centrally located on the campus. This statue of the CHS mascot was designed & sculpted by Central alumnus, Jac Cavness.

A History of Champions

From the 1966 Football State Championship, to the 2015 Boys/Girls Gymnastic State titles, to 2023 Natl. Oral Interp. Champion, & beyond; Central boasts a tradition of both UIL Academic and Athletic award winning programs.

CHS Alma Mater

Mid the shouts and cheering of the throng,

Alma Mater, hear our song.

Let resounding echoes, voices raise;

Spreading forth thy name, thy praise.

Always loyal, faithful, ever true,

Thus we make our pledge to you.

And we'll never fail, but we'll always hail, CHS hail to you, all hail.

All... hail... to... you dear CHS. Hail to the orange and to the blue.

Thy sons and daughters love thee well. Their faith and love will ne'er grow old.

Deep in our hearts, thy deeds, thy fame, and glorious victory shall remain.

The eyes of Texas are upon you, all the live-long day.

Hail to you dear CHS.

*In the original version, "CHS" was replaced with "SAH" (San Angelo High).

You are officially a Bobcat now...

Your Team
