6/22/2019
My experience at centennial was good because they gave me the opportunity to take free college courses. They put more focus on seniors because they had advisors to help me throughout my college applications and the whole processes. The Ap and honor class are challenging in a good way and I learned a lot. They have lots of sports that students can join and a decent amount of extra curricular classes. From how the school used to be from when my parents attended to when I attended it has gotten much better especially in academics because they are pushing the students more and are advancing in technology. The only things I would like for them to change is the desks inside the class because they are in poor condition and they need to increase the amount of resources and supplies.

I like that Centennial has a great support system for the students to get through the college process. I would like to see Centennial improve their academics and make them a little more challenging on the level it should be.

Centennial has a few very good teachers who teach students valuable life lessons. The have a great band and sports teams. We also have very good college resources. The college advisors are very helpful in guiding students to college. A change that I would like to see at Centennial are the activities. We lack any clubs or organizations. Its very had for some students to fit in if they are not in any sports. We need more clubs for all students to feel comfortable at school.

I am an alumnus from Centennial's first graduating class in 1955. Some of the comments about the quality of the teaching staff, or lack thereof, reminded me that when our class celebrated the 50th anniversary of our graduation, Centennial's principal at the time didn't even bother to show up when we...

The loss of the Operation Director/ Principal of our school, Centennial High School, where I work, is one of the greatest losses in all my years of teaching experience. Mr. Jones has brought the respect, order, organization, empowerment and pride to Centennial, that the students, the staff and the c...

This school needs more teachers, security!! Every time I come to this school there are always students walking and it's not just 5 students there's more lets just say 15-20 in different directions. There needs to be security to tell these students to get to class. The school is just so unprofessiona...
