After 3 years at CHS, I think that the school offers so much that I totally took for granted. I could blame my freshman year counselor for skipping information about the school, but it was mostly me not being proactive enough. During the 1.5 years spent online, I felt that most teachers did amazing at their job. The social culture is definitely very cliquey. Everyone mostly sticks to the people from their extracurricular activity and/or those who they have grown with. It’s definitely important to stick to something that has substance at school, I would say. In all realms, there is a place for anyone willing to try new things. Of course, there might be some difficulty adjusting to balancing workload/activities. Another thing is that students are pretty ambitious about maximizing their well roundedness and building a strong profile for college. This causes students to skip sleep and cheat to keep their friends and social status. This is a problem but it seems to be part of the spirit.
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!
