Dear Centennial High School Community, 

As we head into the weekend, I want to share a number of celebrations and updates with you.  Please read below.

Junior Football – City Champions!

• Congratulations to our Junior Football team, who won Centennial’s first ever Division 1 City Championship banner on Wednesday night!
• To our coaches and student athletes – thank you for your incredible dedication through this uncertain and interrupted season; your place is secure in Coyote history

 Senior Football – Championship Game Tonight!

• Not to be outdone, our Senior Football team plays tonight (7:30pm, Hellard Field at Shouldice) against Lord Beaverbrook for the Division 2 City Championship!
• Though this Principal spent years coaching football at Beaverbrook in a previous life, it’s all about the green tonight – Go Yotes!
• My understanding from the CSHSAA is that the game tonight will be livestreamed through this link tonight: https://app.hometeamlive.com/leagues/184
• • I believe there is a $5 daily pass subscription fee for those wishing to livestream the game
• Good luck Coyotes!

 Parking Passes

• An important reminder for any students parking in our school lot that they are required to purchase a parking pass, which must be displayed in their vehicle at all times when parked in the lot
• Students can purchase parking passes by scanning the QR code outside the school Business Office
• There are still some students who have purchased passes but who have not picked up the physical pass to display in their vehicle – please go to the Business Office to get your pass if you are one of these people
• There are also several students who have requested but not yet paid for or picked up a pass – please go to the Business Office if that is you

 School Council Meeting
