My overall experience with Centennial High School has been a very interesting journey. The school overall is very helpful and useful while the area is not great at all. The staff, teachers, administrators, etc are very helpful when it comes to the students education.

I would like for there to be a safer environment enforced. The culture isn't so much focused on academics. Lots of funding goes to the football team and the marching most other sports and extra curricular activities are ignored.

I like that Centennial has a great support system for the students to get through the college process. I would like to see Centennial improve their academics and make them a little more challenging on the level it should be.

Mr. Jones has brought the respect, order, organization, empowerment and pride to Centennial, that the students, the staff and the c...

This school needs more teachers, security!! Every time I come to this school there are always students walking and it's not just 5 students there's more lets just say 15-20 in different directions. There needs to be security to tell these students to get to class. The school is just so unprofessiona...
