Jodi R: Our school is such a wonderful place for kids to learn, teachers to teach and parents to volunteer. We also have a number of community members who love to give of their time to volunteer at our school. We may not have the newest school building in our district, but we have the best students and staff!!!!! As a parent I am so proud to say that my child goes to Coralville Central and that I am a Coralville Central parent! If a new family were to move to our town, I would highly recommend moving the Coralville Central district. Go Cougars!!!!
