Welcome to Central Public School—where every student is valued, every voice matters, and every day is an opportunity to learn and grow. For generations, Central Public School has been at the heart of the Renfrew community, serving families with a deep commitment to student success, well-being, and belonging. Our history reaches back to 1875, and while much has changed since that first schoolhouse, our purpose remains the same: to provide a caring, dynamic learning environment for all children.
At Central, we believe in the power of education.
-
We inspire curiosity by celebrating student strengths, encouraging creativity, and fostering a love of learning.
-
We empower students to take ownership of their ideas, their relationships, and their progress—helping them develop the confidence to take risks and try new things.
-
We achieve together, as a collaborative team of students, staff, families, and community partners who are all working toward the same goal: helping children reach their full potential.
Our programs support the whole child—academically, socially, and emotionally. From innovative classroom practices to meaningful community involvement, we create opportunities for students to connect with the world around them in positive and impactful ways. The recent community-driven renewal of our playground is a wonderful reminder of what can happen when people unite around a shared vision for children.
We are proud of our past, engaged in the present, and excited for our future. Thank you for choosing Central Public School. Together, let’s continue to Inspire, Empower, and Achieve.
Warmly,
Angie Miller
Principal, Central Public School
