Central Magnet School is a public magnet school located in Murfreesboro, Tennessee. The school is a part of the Rutherford County school system and serves students from grades 6 through 12. It is known for its academic rigor and numerous awards.[2] In 2020, Central received the National Blue Ribbon School recognition for academic achievement.[3]

History

In the 1900s, Central Magnet was originally Central High School. The high school campus burned down in 1944 and was later rebuilt in 1950 to replace the Tennessee College for Women. Due to the large enrollment of students at Central High School, Rutherford County established Riverdale High School and Oakland High School, and Central then became a middle school.[4] In the fall of 2010, Central became an academic magnet school.[5]

Academics

Central Magnet School is an academic magnet school, offering five dual enrollment options, 31 Advanced Placement courses, and 68 honors–or above honors–level courses.[6] 100 percent of students participate in the AP program.

High school students must take four Advanced Placement courses, complete 25 hours of community service for each year of enrollment, and present a senior thesis in order to be eligible for the "Central Magnet Diploma".
