My overall experience with centennial high school is mostly good, I have had good and bad experiences but the good ones overturn the bad. Starting with the good experiences, the teachers and the way they act towards you also the way they help you and most importantly the way they teach is fantastic. The only bad experiences I've had is being bullied and not tell anyone.

Centennial is actually a pretty good school. People make it sound worse than it actually is. The staff is very nice and the whole vibe of the school is great. There are a lot of classes that can also help you grow as a student.

Sigh...I entered this school year with high hopes having chosen this school by lottery for my daughter. Unfortunately, I am disappointed in how things have turned out, my main frustration is that there is a useful and valuable tool in the Parent Assistant Module designed for teachers to communicate...
