Central Tech School was high school in Erie, Pennsylvania in the United States. The attendance is roughly 1,000 students. Currently it is the Erie School District's regional vocational-technical school. Central offers 21 Career and Technical courses. The school's mascot is a Falcon.

Central high school was known for violence crime and bullying. A report came out in 2004 noting that 60 percent of the students that walked into central high school either dropped out or graduated elsewhere.

When occupancy of newly built Academy High School was delayed in the fall of 1919, those students shared facilities with Central through June 1920. Students from Academy and Technical Memorial merged into Central for the 1992-1993 academic year when those schools closed.[1]
