Centennial High School Reviews
Rating 3.68 out of 5 383 reviews
My time at Centennial High School was one of tremendous personal growth. Enrolling in the school's exclusive Humanities program challenged my prior beliefs about the world and forced me to explore why I believed what I believed, and now my faith in the Lord Jesus is stronger than ever, so I am grateful for that. Centennial provides a wide range of activities, so students can pretty much do anything they desire to do at the school. I personally participated in choir, mostly GT and AP classes, Track and Field, and the school musical at various times while I was at Centennial; there is a lot to get involved in. There is community for everyone if they are willing to seek it out, and I found myself---and still find myself---having great times with the friends I've gained as I've progressed through the years. Centennial High School allowed me to Dual-Enroll at a community college as well, which is one of the best experiences I've ever had. I am grateful to Centennial. God bless you!
Going to Centennial High School has generally been a great experience for me, and I feel lucky to attend a high school with such a diverse population! I praise this school for its great college prep, and I am generally pleased with the academics.
Unfortunately, Centennial is in dire need of a renovation, and most students here can agree that the lack of windows throughout the building makes an average school day kind of depressing.
However, as a student who enjoys participating in performing arts, I must say that Centennial High School’s arts programs are outstanding. We have some of the best arts teachers who are passionate about what they do!
As far as the administration, I think they are generally very nice, but I know that there have been some concerns about their rules and ways of going about issues.
Overall, Centennial is a great school.

Centennial's curriculum is extensive and offers many options from honors classes, to G/T, to Advanced Placement. The education is rigorous and prepares its students to succeed beyond high school.
