Centennial High School is a solid school. Some great teachers help students prepare for the future. The worst part is the food, but there is nothing too bad to say about the school in general.

The teachers are very amazing here, and the demographic of people here is very wide. I wish more people in Williamson County wanted to go here because it is a great school

Centennial High School may get a bad reputation, however it's a school with lots of diversity and cultures. Many of the faculty and teachers are great, and so are the athletics.

Atrocious leadership and usage of school funding. Despite this, many of the teachers are very talented and teach their students well.

Overall this is not a bad school, but it is in one of the worst districts, with the worst leadership you could ever come across. This district has cut a program that supports struggling students and families experiencing hardship by 85%. A program that is only 0.00% percent of the district's budget....

The school, my daughter is currently in I mean, she doesn’t love it because it’s school, but it definitely helps her academically. We moved from California and ever since we moved to Franklin. She’s done so well.

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.
