Dear Centennial High School Community, Semester 2 is already underway as we reset and start fresh. A new semester is always an opportunity to refocus. We hope all of our students thrive in their new courses. This will be the final semester at Centennial for our Class of 2026. I suspect my fellow ‘graduating parents’ will agree that time elapses way too quickly. Our kids are growing up so fast. Please read on for a number of updates. Casino Volunteers Needed! - As I shared with School Council and Parent Society last night, funding is always tight for high schools
- Many of Centennial’s outstanding programs rely heavily on funds raised through casino nights
- Our next Casino Night is Friday, March 6 (running into the morning of Saturday, March 7)
- We are in need of more volunteers to fill the remaining slots
- If you are interested in signing up, please do so through this link: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/8050849A8A929A3F85-60752549-centennial#/
