Centennial High School

Im a student at centennial high and when i first started my 9th grade there were pointless riots and sometimes I would be in the middle of it and im not the type of person to fight but there was teachers that pulled the kids that wernt involved in the riot including me and ask to see if we are ok. as of now 2010-2012 this school has greatly improved we went from 6 riots a year to none at all there are students with 4.0 gpa and they are making it in life. I beive that CENTENNIAL IS A GREAT PLACE TO LEARN. i love the all mighty apache!! and i will always be an apache!!! BIG 10

This school needs real money put into it. Some of the classrooms are just depressing; how do we expect the children to be positive in this type of environment. The floors are dirty; ceilings and walls have holes, broken desks, etc. Atmosphere makes a big difference in ones feeling & attitude. Some of the teachers are really good but unfortunately the bad ones out weight the good ones. There needs to be more parent involvement.

Actuall y the school is great! there so much money thrown at us and the teachers are excellent it's up to the student to take advatage of the opportunities given to them, which are many, and im not a parent, im a student, so my a opinion is worth a little bit moreb/c i'm a student and i'm the one that experiences everything, unlike parents

Centennial has come a long way. I remember a few years ago when it needed to pass accredidation- and it did. Everyone needs to put their components into making a school work. Blaming is easy, it's the self recongnition that's hard. Try that and Centennial can be just as great as other schools.

As a student at Centennial High, i think the parents and teachers need to get more involed and encourage us to do well. the school is also lacking on; desks, books, and school supplies. other than that we are doing great! we just need more support from parents, teachers, and students as well.

As a student at the big ten the school is doing real bad in every aspect that there is. There is a shortage of teachers, the principal shows no initiative, there is also a lack of school supplies ( school books, chairs and desks, computers, no library use, no computer use and also no copy machine use by the teachers). I wouldn't recommend this school to any one at all.

When a school is under scrutiny from the state, the High School administration will begin documenting teachers to begin a paper trail on incompetent teachers, seeking to put focus on teacher commitment. Administrators have a lots of time to ponder these observations vs taking time to be interactive with students and teachers in a constructive and more directive way. Administrators have become experts on refocusing blame on others but themselves. Too many administrators view teachers as the problem and not the parents, not society. How many administrators send their students to their local public high schools. Do the research!\ Michael Luna

Well I am a student here @ Centennial High School and it is not all that bad. We are very bright and smart here @ The Ten. We are working very hard on test and we all do care. We all are good @ sports. (for the people who is involved) But I think that we need more help from the parents. I think that it will really bring us together as a whole. It will help.

As a former teacher of this troubled school, I can say that from the poor leadership of this administration to its undisciplined and low motivated students, the school should be taken over by the State. All talk, but no action. That is why I had to resign, because of no action and no leadership from its administration.
