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.
