Parent Council

Enjoy the camaraderie and support of Central parents with the Central College Parent Council. This group serves as a resource for parents and helps build connections — that close-knit family Central prides itself on. They can help explain what a Lemming Race is and why your student’s clothes may need extra washing after Homecoming. Its mission is to make sure the educational environment is maximized for each student and to offer a parent perspective in student-related matters.

The Parent Council selects parents from each graduating class to serve on this resource council.

For more information contact Carol Williamson, vice president for student development and dean of students.
