I have recently graduated from Centennial High School, moving from Florida between my sopohomore and junior years. Looking at this school from a strictly academic perspective, it could be termed 'unsurpassed.' Most of the teachers there are dedicated to their profession and willing to work with students
... Read more on a multitude of levels (obviously, as in all schools, some teachers fall below this distinguished mark). A wide variety of elective courses are offered and a large handful of Advanced Placement courses are available to take. Two downsides befall upon this institution. First, if it is any concern to begin with: school spirit lacks. Second: the administration is paranoid about security. There is literally no place on campus where large and obtrusive cameras monitor all events. Teachers are always standing in the halls and some teachers enforce every rule in the book (the art hall is notorious for having over-zealous enforcers). Read less

Centennial is not the best but it is decent. My disappointment is that there are no IB classes nor additional math beyond AP BC Calculus.

I am finishing up my freshman year at this high school. I was a new student here in November and I felt very welcomed when I came here and adjusted quickly. Great classes and practically a billion electives to choose from. I'm going to be taking animation classes starting next year. The only problem
... Read more is many of the kids at this school have really rich parents and some of them act a little stuck up about it and this creates some social boundaries among students. Other kids get in trouble a lot, but this is probably a good thing because the principal and assistant principals are kinda strict, but fair and keep CHS a pretty safe school. Like, I'm never afraid someone is going to fight me or anything. The teachers are awesome and really want the kids to learn and understand. Read less
