area and the school was highly acclaimed. In 1969, the high school was relocated to Highway 58 in Harrison.
The school athletics teams originally went by the name Purple Warriors as the school colors are purple and gold. During an exceptionally good year in the 1930s a local sportswriter began to opine that they often "pounded" their opponents; the name stuck. The "Purple Pounders" is the current name, often illustrated with a hammer and anvil.
From 2008 until 2018, Finley King served as the school's principal. He was the second Central High alum to serve as principal. Following King's departure, Phil Iannarone, former principal of nearby Snow Hill Elementary School, served as principal from 2018 to 2024. Since 2024, LeAngela Rogers has been the incumbent principal.
In early September 2019, an unidentified school administrator ordered washroom mirrors painted over because students were spending too much time checking their appearance. The decision was reversed after a Facebook post about it went viral.
