I recently graduated from HBMS, and I have mixed feelings about this school. While the kids are mostly knuckle heads who aren't very smart and get into trouble very often, I liked how small the school felt and how it seemed like you knew most of, if not every single student in your grade. While the two assistant principals are both terrible, the rest of the administration is pretty solid and for the most part they care about the well-being of the student body. The fine arts division of the school is amazing, and my experience as a member of the band program has helped me to already have a spot as a primary member of the CHS band program, even as a rising freshman. However, this past year yeilded tax cuts for the school. These cuts led to numerous teachers being laid off, including both the French and German teachers. Now to talk about the schedule. This site says that HBMS follows a normal schedule, which it does not. It follows a block schedule, in which there are A days, B days, and C days. A and B days are where there are 5 periods throughout the school day, each of them being 80 minutes long (one of which is a 'reset' block. The reset block includes lunch, recess, and an independent reading time where not a single teacher has every forced me to read during). But then there are C days. C days were new for the 25-26 school year. C days contain 9 periods, where students go through their A day schedule before reset block and their B day schedule after, in condensed periods. There are always 2 A and B days per week, and 1 C day per week. I think the teachers try their best to adjust with the abnormal schedule, despite some being better than others. To conclude, HBMS is a (mostly) fine school with an odd schedule that has a few issues.

I went to this school from kindergarten-5th grade and I loved it. I am now in 7th grade. Many of the kids were nice and respected others. Some of them were disruptive but the teachers handled it well. The lessons were mostly made in a fun way so that It didn’t feel boring. We could also have partners which helped others. We even got to do fun lessons on days like Halloween, like making cookies that look like cells. I had a great experience and recommend this school!

The teachers and staff at Centennial High School care about the students and the education. Special shout out to the phenomenal counseling department lead by Mrs. Peart they are the Gold Standard. My sons are both a part of a mentoring program that focuses on both high achieving and at risk students providing support across the board.
