Dear Centennial High School Community, Halloween is behind us and November is here. How time does fly! Term 2 has begun at Centennial, as we have passed the halfway point of the first semester. And, as always, there is much going on. As I type this message our Music students are boarding a coach, en route to the Vic Lewis Band Festival in Canmore. We thank in advance our talented student musicians led by Ms. Laurendeau, for representing our school with such skill and beauty. Good luck at the festival!
