The open access flexible schedule allows students and teachers to make full use of the library media center as an extension of the curriculum. Second grade units on countries, insects, African American history, community, consumerism and weather. Third grade units on women's history, Native Americans, endangered animals, tall tales, and communities. Media Literacy units are also co-taught in the media center. Units taught in 1996-97 are available on the Media Action Council of Indiana website.
Distance learning is used several times a month.
Concurrent with this session was a visit to Central by representatives from the steel and auto industries in Indiana. Central also hosted series presented by the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra and Clowes Memorial Hall. This site is coded for accessibility.
