I’ve had great interactions with teachers and staff. Love this school!

Class Of 2024 here - I loved this school as if it were my second home. I was fearful of starting high school due to my negative experiences as an elementary student, but high school was absolutely nothing like elementary. Centennial gave me every opportunity to better myself as a writer and I am forever grateful to have attended for all four years. I met so many wonderful people, students and staff alike. I made countless connections and memories which I will cherish for a lifetime. Mr. Wolff, the newspaper advisor, is beyond words.I was the editor-in-chief of the school newspaper for a year, and before then, I worked my way up by first becoming a reporter and then a section editor. Mr. Wolff has watched me grow into the confident adult I am today and has witnessed all my ups and downs, he's like family to me. However, even though I enjoyed my high school experience, not everyone will. Every school has its negatives, and some of my peers didn't take advantage during their time as a student because they didn't feel as at home as I had; and that's perfectly okay. School isn't for everyone. But, if you're like me and have a lot of spirit, or simply just want to feel like you're in an 80s John Hughes movie, I genuinely believe this school would be an amazing fit for you.And, if you get the opportunity, make the effort to connect with people. Educators like Mrs. Dunham, Mr. Butler, and Mrs. Menasco are just a few examples that also contributed to my overall experience. They're amazing, and you'll feel right at home when you get to know them.If you made it this far, you may as well consider Centennial as the high school for you. :)
