Celina High School is mostly known as the "football" school in North Texas. We have great athletic facilities but I think other student should have just as many opportunities. We also have very little resources and much less STEM path building classes than other schools in our surrounding areas. I do love our community of supoorting parents and staff though.

During my time at CHS I really enjoyed it. Some of the best parts were the school spirit and how lovely most of the teachers were. One thing I would change is how certain teachers and administrators have "favorites" that are very obvious. This leads to students feeling left out and unwanted. Other than this, I truly enjoyed my time and miss high school. I am still very close with many people from Celina High School which I am grateful for.
