Dear Centennial High School Community, It’s a sad day when one is excited about a forecast high of a balmy minus 9…but I am glad it will warm up at least a little before another cold-ish blast next week. Our Facilities staff is doing a fantastic job keeping our sidewalks and entries as cleared and safe as possible, while still keeping our school beautiful and functional inside. We are very grateful for our Head Facility Operator Arnold, and the entire Centennial Facilities team. Please read below for some updates.
