We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

I was originally zoned for another school but transferred to CHS and it was a great choice. I have met some of the best people there. I would say that the people are nice, but I have also met some rude people as well. Centennial is also very diverse so it was nice to see multiple races in my classes. I will say that there tends to be a lot of fights that happen, but honestly you can just walk away and it will be fine. I have loved spending my time and this school and can't believe it's almost over.

as having this school experience it has taught me lots of up and downs. I have had amazing teachers that have made me go above and beyond what I thought I could do but I have also have had teachers I didn't like. School for me isn't just the learning it's also about the social life you find in it. you find friends and they can become your family. one thing I know is that this school has a great sense of community and when it's important we can all come together as a school.

I would like to see a change in how seriously the academics are taken. There is often little regard for time and I feel like the school day is not being utilized to its fullest possible extent.

I've had two children go through Centennial 6 years apart. They both excelled and loved it there. The teachers are wonderful and its more of a family atmosphere.

No longer recommend any school in Williamson County due to the way the district is handling Covid. No mitigation strategies that are useful. No option for remote learning anymore. When they have to shut down they just use a snow day.

This school has No accountability for the students. They give do overs on every assignment until they make their desired score. The teachers spend most of their time pressing their political views on students instead of preparing them for college. The athletic departments are a mess. Coaches allow t...
