History
The first public high-school in Kalamazoo began operating in 1858, and graduated its first class, consisting of five men and thee women, in 1859.[1] Charles E. Stuart sued the Kalamazoo School Board in 1874 alleging that the school-board's use of taxpayer money to fund secondary education was unconstitutional. The School Board prevailed, setting a precedent allowing publicly funded secondary education through the country. [2] In 1925, the school moved to the building currently known as Old Central High School.[3] Following the largest graduating class of 799 students in 1960, some Central High School students transferred to the newly-opened Loy Norrix High School in 1961. Central High School moved to its current location in 1972.[4]
