Una successiva legge dello Stato, approvata il 9 aprile 1849, stabilì che i provveditori alle scuole pubbliche del primo distretto scolatico della Pennsylvania avevano il potere di conferire titoli accademici delle arti ai diplomati della ''Central High School''<ref>{{cite book|editor-last1=Pepper|editor-first1=George Wharton|editor-last2=Lewis|editor-first2=William Draper|title=A Digest of the Laws of Pennsylvania: From the Year One Thousand Seven Hundred to the Sixth Day of July, One Thousand Eight Hundred and Eighty-three|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=r5FCAQAAMAAJ&pg=PA845|volume=1|year=1896|publisher=T. & J.

Nel settembre 1854 la scuola si trasferì in una nuova sede, all'angolo fra Broad Street e Green Street. Nel settembre 1900 avvenne un ulteriore trasloco, in un edificio più grande e moderno fra Broad Street, Green Street, Fifteenth Street, e Brandywine Street. Infine, nel 1939, la ''Central'' si trasferì nell'attuale sede sulle Ogontz e Olney Avenues. L'edificio precedente è diventato la sede della [[Benjamin Franklin High School]].

In September 1900, the school moved to its third ___location in a newer and larger building located at Broad, Green, Fifteenth, and Brandywine Streets.
 
In 1939, Central moved from its ___location at Broad and Green to its fourth, current, ___location at Ogontz and Olney Avenues. The building left behind became the [[Benjamin Franklin High School (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania)|Benjamin Franklin High School]].
 
After 139 years of existence as an all-male public high school, Central's all-male policy was challenged by Susan Vorchheimer, who wished to be admitted to Central. On August 7, 1975, [[United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania|U.S. District Court]] Judge Clarence C. Newcomer ruled that Central must admit academically qualified girls starting in the fall term of 1975. The decision was appealed, and the [[United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit|Third Circuit Court]] ruled that Central had the right to retain its present status.<ref>{{cite court |litigants=Vorchheimer v.
