Center High School was involved in a minor controversy when its football coach's contract was not renewed by two of the school districts board members. The members were ridiculed by both students, parents and staff and were ultimately recalled by the community. One of the members ended up having to move to Idaho because of the negative attention that was received by their family and friends. However coincidently, the coach ended up resigning a year after being reinstated.
