Central goes from Guatemala to Panama. Mexico still.north america, that's what I learned at school, unless americans change it.

But if we labelled the US as central it would be funny and probably piss off some bigots.

Am American, when I was in school (just about 6 years ago), I was taught that everything above Panama is North America and below is South.

Central America wasn't considered a continent but just a way to label a region, similar to the label middle east. Central America was, as you described, below Mexico to above Colombia.
