In September 2019, it was announced that Central High was being merged with St. Mary's High School, to become the "The New Central High School".[3] However, this was subsequently explained as a temporary merger that was being taken because of issues connected with the condition of the school's former building, and reassurances were given by the Regional Education Officer that the school's current "A"-grade status would be retained while phasing out St Mary's High School.[4]
