Dear Centennial High School Community,

This morning Centennial High School held our Alberta Post-Secondary Fair.  We welcomed numerous post-secondary institutions and entities from across the province.  Students visited booths to collect information and ask questions to the various representatives.  On Wednesday evening we hosted the Out of Province Post-Secondary Fair as well.  Both of these events were incredibly well attended.  At both events members our fabulous Guidance Team were told by several of our presenting guests how impressed they were by the respectful behaviour exhibited by Centennial students, and by the depth and thoughtfulness of the questions posed by these young people.  On behalf of the students and families of Centennial High School, we thank our entire Guidance Department for making these valuable opportunities available for our community.

Please read on for a few additional updates.
