Compete Against Other Reunion Classes to Raise Money for Central High School
The First Class Challenge is an exciting rivalry for classes holding reunions each year. This friendly class competition began in 2000. As the tradition continues each year reunion planners send classmates letters, asking for their financial participation to ensure their class wins "The First Class Challenge Award," given to just one of the many reunions happening throughout the year. The class contributing the most money by the end of the year wins! All contributions are tax deductible and are critical to the survival of The Foundation.
A plaque is proudly displayed in the CHS Courtyard and the CHS Foundation office recognizing the winners and the participants from each year.
