Historical Background of Central College Elementary School:
The name of the school is derived from the school's location in the Central College area. Originally this community on Sunbury Road was called Amalthea in honor of the deceased sweetheart of an early settler. Later, Squire Timothy Lee was mainly responsible for the appearance of an academy called Central College because it was approximately in the center of Ohio. This name came to be applied to the community and has remained so, even though the academy closed in the 1890's. The school became part of the Westerville City School District in 1955. Prior to 1989, the building served as a traditional elementary building. Since then, Central College is part of the Westerville Magnet School Program that serves grades one through five with selection determined by lottery drawing. |
