What people are saying

by a parent

Centennial has a good principal. The students also have a beautiful building to attend school in. The majority of teachers provide a great learning experience. Sadly however, many students who attend school at Centennial Jr High live in an area in which the residents consider themselves to be "elite" people. This carries over into how students interact with one another. I personally believe that the students have grown up witth the idea that they are wonderful, elite people. If the students feel threatened by anyone who may challenge their belief that they're number one, then many of them don't know how to cope with it. Unfortunately because of this prevalent attitude that exists in so many students there, my kids have consistently had mean rumors spread about them, they've been called mean and derogatory names, and they've had mean things done to them. I'm sure some have had a better experience than we have, but I can't say that this school is a wonderful fit for everyone. Close Quote
