I liked the academics part of it a lot. I would like to see better food. There are also some things to be said about the current management's use of the budget. I feel it would be more useful if spent on school supplies rather than a new scoreboard.

The school is overall very good for the school district, with a clean campus and staff who is friendly. However, the performing arts departments are slightly underfunded.

Centennial High School has been an amazing experience. It is everything I imagined it to be and more. There are a diverse selection of electives, ranging from STEM programs to Music and Theater. I especially liked how many activities the school offers its students, like the chance to participate in Rallies, or cheer on their peers during a Sports game. I wouldn't change my high school if I could.

I would rate the experience as very poor. The disrespect Administration has towards parents is very bad. It also seems that most staff do not really care about the students. There is too many examples to list them all but they all add up. My son was called "Mike" instead of his name Kevin for two ye...
