Celina high school has been a great all around experience. The only change I would like to see is more effort in arts and music session
7/11/2024
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.
