Joliet Central High School is located at 201 E. Jefferson St, in Joliet, Illinois, USA. Built in 1901, the original building is noted for its marble floors and staircases and its castle-like limestone exterior architecture. The building has been added on to 5 times since it was build in 1901 and it served as the original home to Joliet Junior College. The school's balconied auditorium is the largest indoor auditorium in Joliet, including that of the downtown Rialto Square Theatre, and its large gymnasium is capable of holding over 2500 people during yearly graduation ceremonies. Central is part of Joliet Township High Schools, along with Joliet West and Joliet East (now defunct).
