Centennial High School taught me a variety of lessons throughout my high school career. From learning how to grow up to making the varsity football team as a sophomore, I have not only been in many situations that have changed me for the better, but I have experienced a time in which I always feel safe and motivated to push through any obstacle. The environment at Centennial is truly great, as almost every teacher in the hall has a bright smile on their face that lighten up the mood of a boring school day and also spread energy to the students. In almost every class I have been in, the teacher has been very respectful, attentive, and understanding which is a true reflection of the magnificent staff as a whole. I have met so many different people from a variety of backgrounds here at Centennial, and I would not trade these experiences for the world. I really believe Centennial High School has made a positive impact on me that I will carry on into the real world in the future!
Centennial High School is an amazing school - beyond the academics. There is always a way to get more involved on campus with such a large variety of organizations and clubs. From wanting to learn about agriculture to health to business to anime, there’s something for everyone! The one thing I wish they would change is the social activities the school provided in comparison to other high schools I have seen. Besides this, the teachers and faculty are all so kind and caring and will do anything they can to make you feel at home. Join an organization and become a leader - I was personally involved with DECA, BPA, CSA, NHS, Key Club, Cash Club, and a few more. Centennial DECA truly changed my life, not only did it give me a passion for finance, but it taught me leadership skills, a major source of happiness, and people to call family. Find what makes you happy like DECA did for me, and trust me, Centennial will provide that! Finally, enjoy your time here, it goes by before you know it!
After two years at Centennial, I have become acutely aware of the strengths and weaknesses of Centennial. Most of the teachers at Centennial are good teachers, with knowledge of the subject they teach and engaging activities to help students learn. The faculty, with the exception of the counselors, are also very helpful to students. However, the counselors, mainly in terms of college readiness are not very helpful. Most of them are unaware of new requirements in schools, GPA requirements, and more, so students have to find that information themselves. There is a large variety both in the food and diversity in Centennial, and that makes the school a more welcoming environment personally. The environment amongst kids, however, is toxic. Although obvious bullying doesn't happen, racial slurs are used, cheating is rampant, and students are divided, which the teachers don't fix. If that culture is fixed, and clubs are given more attention to by the school, Centennial could be perfect.
