Student Choice
Students have a number of elective options such as STEM program, world language and Math options for high school credit, expanded art and health programs, and instrumental and vocal music programs.
Individualized Scheduling
Students’ days are scheduled by a team of counselors and administrators to ensure they have the opportunities and support they need to reach their full potential.
AT A GLANCE
Centennial Middle School earns its reputation as a safe and successful school through the hard work and commitment of staff, students, parents and the wider community.
Extracurricular Choices
Students can participate in sports and activities through community education, Centennial High School and Fine Arts, including band, choir, theater, debate and improv.
1,527 Students
We serve over 1,500 students in sixth through eighth grade.
Building Opened in 1997
The middle school opened in 1997 with a staff of approximately 180 and 1,750 students. It consists of 12 student houses arranged in three two-story wings.
High Open Enrollment Rate
Over 1,000 students open enroll in the district annually.
Student Activities
From numerous sports to clubs and special events, Centennial Middle School has a significant number of students in fun and educational opportunities tailored to their interests. Buses are provided for all students participating in after-school activities.
Welcome
To ensure students are supported as they move to the middle school, students new to the building are given a tour and paired up with a student buddy to help with the first days. Fifth grade students visit with their teachers to help them prepare, and the first day of school in the fall is for incoming sixth grade students only.
