    I loved going to Centerville High School! The teachers were really amazing and cared about you a lot. I had tons of opportunities to get involved and to gain quality experience for college. There were tons of opportunities to find people like you as well. I joined a Lacrosse team, Spanish club, Math Club, Yo-yo Club, Key Club and a couple others over my 4 years there. There was some issues with the levy passing and extras getting cut back but I still enjoyed it.

    Centerville has so many opportunities that other schools around do not. The teachers all around are very good, and even most (although certainly not all) of them go above and beyond what they are required to do. Principals can be strict on some unnecessary things, but other than that, it is hard to be any better than it is. Our sports and academic extra curriculars are stellar(as far as coaches and players go) , many of which additionally do very well in competitions, tournament, and state rankings. The high school building itself is certainly on the older side, but improvements are slowly being made. There are lots of people who go to the school, which may be a turn off for some, but I personally have had a very enjoyable high school experience by meeting and getting to know lots of people with different backgrounds.
    Throughout Centerville High School, there are some gems in the student population and the faculty. I've met some of my best friends here, but I've also met some of the most inconsiderate people I've ever encountered here. Some very understanding, sweet teachers and some teachers who seemed like they wanted their students to fail. Overall, Centerville needs to improve it's flexibility with students who are sick or have a chronic illness, or are mentally unwell. But, the education and the performing arts program will continue on to be amazing.
