Campus

The campus was built in 1968 for Kokomo High School. The district's two high schools merged in 1984 and following an expansion of the former Haworth High School campus, ninth through twelfth grade classes were consolidated to the former Haworth campus site in 1998.

The school has aerospace facilities unique to the middle school level. Known as Central Spacelab, the facilities include a model Space Shuttle and Mission Control Center to simulate space missions, and an artificial moon surface to drive a scale model of the lunar rover with a remote control.

Extracurricular activities

Activities available for Central Middle School students include Bridges, drama club, Lego League, Mathcounts, Spacelab, Spanish club, and student council.

FIRST Lego League

The school has two FIRST Lego League (FLL) teams, Central Spacelab One and Central Spacelab Two. The Central Spacelab One team has won the FLL Indiana Championship three consecutive times, competing at the FLL World Festival in 2004 and 2005 and winning the FLL World Championship in 2006.
