Evansville Central High School
Encyclopedia
Evansville Central High School outside Evansville or Central High School inside Evansville, is the oldest public high school
in continuous operation west of the Allegheny Mountains
. Its was established in 1854 as Evansville High School. The name was changed to Central High School in 1918 when FJ Reitz High School
was built.
Central High School is located in Evansville, IN.
Central is home of the Bears and of the brown and gold tradition.
Central moved to its current location on the far north side of Evansville in the early 1970s. Sometimes called "Vanderburgh Central" because of its location near the geographic center of the county and being nearly four miles northwest of the current Evansville North High School campus, Central is currently the northernmost high school in Vanderburgh County until the completion of the new North High School campus in northern Vanderburgh County, which will restore geographic correctness to the name.
Evansville High School opened on September 4, 1854 with an enrollment of 17 students - 8 boys and 9 girls. The school started on a quarter system with new students entering the high school in January 1855. The report at the end of the year states that the high school had a year-end enrollment of about 30. In order to graduate or move to the next level a student had to pass a very stringent final examination
. A teacher
did not give an easy exam for fear that it would reflect poorly on them as a teacher.
"On the basis of the 1887-88 graduation list, Ferdinand C. Iglehart has been publicized as our first graduate. He was the son of Asa Iglehart. He was accorded a full page with portrait and biography in The Annual for 1909. It is possible that he was the first student to go through a public ceremony of graduating or to have a diploma
handed to him, or he may have been one of several; we shall never know this definitely until we find a printed or written record made at the time the event happened. However, we do know that a goodly number of students completed the required course previous to 1863 and that they were recognized in public ceremony in 1898. The fact that others completed the course earlier does not in any way detract from the glory of Ferdinand C. Iglehart, who became a prominent clergyman in the New York
area." (Meyer, p. 100)

"During the first forty years of our school's existence, there were no athletics of a competitive sort. In 1896 we had a mathematics
teacher on our faculty named Linnaeus N. Hines. A giant of a man, nearly seven feet tall and huge in every direction, he must have weighed 300 pounds. Mr. Hines had become fond of football
and considered it a fine sport for boys able to stand the roughness of the game. He organized a team in 1896 which arranged games with other school teams. Since there was no State Athletic Association then to make rules covering eligibility, Mr. Hines played center. Only 13 boys came out for the team that year..." "Leanord Young, physics
teacher and later principal, also played on the team." (Meyer, p. 149)
