For 3 years so far being part of the school, I've come to enjoy the culture and diversity around with the school. It's well open to all students alike and easier to get along with each other. The teachers are chill to students but also somehow makes most people motivated to focus in class while having fun learning. Of course, you'd have to work hard and study well to get the teachers' respect for you, which shouldn't be too much of a big deal in my personal opinion. There are many classes for different subjects too, and many sports and clubs for every students' interests outside of the learning environment. One thing I do wish the school could change though is their lunches. Some lunches from the school is a hit or miss at most cases and really, most people tend to buy their food from vending machines or at fast food places. Regardless of the food situation, I really enjoy and love the school's environment and hopefully, you will too if you decide to go there!
I liked how diverse our study body was. I believe it made people comfortable with the unknown and safe. It felt like the real world where there are many different types of people and it felt great to be with people who look like me but also who don't. I also found that the teachers really care about the students in the way of getting them to graduate and have someone to talk to. There are also very little bullying making a safe environment to be yourself without judgment. Some negatives about the school is mostly the administration and how uncommunicative they are with students and teachers. Things like Covid regulations are always changing and the administration has always been bad with letting the students and staff know what to do like wear masks and more. Other than that it has been a positive experience and I do think I will keep in contact with friends and teachers that I have met here.
Centennial High School has an amazing community. Students and teachers comfortably express themselves daily and classroom environments are generally pleasant and fun to participate in. However, the hallways in between classes get severely congested to the point that at times, it can be hard to get to class on time. The argument could also be made that school regulations keep students from exploring interests by forcing required curriculum that isn't expressly needed, such as physics. On that note, changes in graduation requirements happen too frequently, causing students to not accurately forecast their future schedules. Additionally, the school has no public Wi-Fi, leaving it up to students to use phone data to communicate. This proves to be a big inconvience to many as lower income students can't afford a high amounting data plan for their phones. That being said, it's a fun place to be but one that needs some improvements.
