It's okay overall— to reach resources you must go out yourself and talk to people about them because they won't do much for you.

My overall experience with Centennial High School has been a very interesting journey. The school overall is very helpful and useful while the area is not great at all. The staff, teachers, administrators, etc are very helpful when it comes to the students education.

My experience at Centennial High School was overall worthwhile and beneficial. I was given opportunities that help gave me an idea of what I want to do in the future. Centennial has helped me meet new people and experience a lot I have learned that skills that I never thought I could. Regardless of how most people view Centennial there are many students that will have a bright future ahead of them.

Mr. Jones has brought the respect, order, organization, empowerment and pride to Centennial, that the students, the staff and the c...
