History

La Crosse Central is the older of two public high schools in La Crosse, with rival Logan being the newer school. It was established in 1907. Originally, Central was located at the intersection of 16th and Cass Streets on La Crosse's south side, where Weigent Park stands today. The current building was completed in 1967 and stands on Losey Boulevard, near State Road.

Extra-curricular activities

La Crosse Central High School has a variety of extra-curricular activities and athletics, and is part of the Mississippi Valley Conference.

Central's competitive show choir which was once called Grand Central Station, will now combine efforts with cross-town rival Logan High School to form a new combined show choir named “River City Revolution” which will start competing in the 2024-2025 school year. GCS was undefeated in the 2001, 2002 and 2014 seasons and since 2015 has hosted its own competition, the Grand River Show Choir Invitational.[3] [4] [5]
