I am a current senior at Ankeny Centennial High School and not only do I believe my school has done a phenomenal job in preparing me for my future, but provided a safe & healthy learning environment where I was able to be successful. First of all, we have the most amazing team of staff. The hard work of our janitors, lunch staff, coaches, office staff, counselors, teachers, and administration staff can be seen through the success of their students. I feel confident in knowing I had an amazing team of people help me become the person I am today and cannot wait to see what my future holds. Thank you Ankeny Centennial High School!
I have grown so much from attending Centennial. The teachers alone are so welcoming and I have made so many friends from all the sports and activities I am involved in. Because of the curriculum taught, I am confident that I am very prepared for what is to come in my future. A couple of aspects that could improve for future students would be resources for applying to universities, vocational schools, and scholarship help. Because there are so many students, receiving resources for colleges and after school opportunities are lessened because of the sheer struggle for communication. Overall, I am so grateful that i have experienced all Ankeny Centennial High School has offered!
Ankeny Centennial was a wonderful school for me! The teachers were amazing and the dances were fun. Some things I did not enjoy was the limits the school district put on students for dress up days and other activities. However, the environment of the school is very safe and it is a welcoming community. Each day when you walk in the office people are kind and will say hello to you. Finally another complaint would be the counselors which I found not helpful with questions and concerns I had. The teachers were very caring and hard working to complete and turn grades in on time! Overall my experience was very good and I am sad my senior year was cut short because I did enjoy going to school there!
