The Foundation for Springfield Public Schools will host the second annual “The Original and Still the Best” Alumni Tour at Central High School on September 5.

Step back in time and reconnect with the enduring legacy of Central High School, an institution woven into the very fabric of Springfield. Founded in 1867 as Springfield High School, CHS holds the distinction of being the oldest high school in continuous operation west of the Mississippi River. For generations, its iconic halls—particularly the main building constructed in 1893—have fostered academic excellence, artistic achievement, and traditions like the famous Kilties Drum and Bugle Corps.

The Bulldogs will play their first home football game against Fair Grove that same evening.

Registration is required.
