Forest Hills Central High School is located in Ada Township, Michigan, near Grand Rapids.

The school was memorable for its campus style construction consisting eventually of thirteen separate buildings, including an auditorium added in 1977.

In addition, the student population continued to grow, and the buildings began to quickly deteriorate.

In 1986, Central High was completely rebuilt with the exception of the auditorium, the gymnasium, the cafeteria, and the art/industrial arts wing, all of which were incorporated into one new building.

In 2009, the building underwent a multimillion-dollar construction project that included a new weight room, student and staff parking lots, main office renovation, athletic field entrance, athletic office, classrooms, and a new gym entrance and foyer.
