Centennial has been a tremendous disappointment this year. The teachers are either very good or are quite the opposite. This year's team of teachers for our child has been extremely difficult to communicate with and have demonstrated no commitment to the success of the students. We do not recommend Centennial unless you can be assured that your child will be assigned to a caring and competent team of teachers. Good luck - it is hit or miss. We really missed the mark this year!

Centennial is a community of caring teachers, staff, parents and students who have a sincere purpose for growth...in learning, in citizenship, in stewardship, and in finding a place to become a responsible, contributing member of society.

I have to say that Centennial campus does not get a high rating as a school community in my book. My son went there as a 6th grader, and we left after one year. The facility is beautiful, the technology superb. But the school is like a fortress. Parents are not allowed beyond the office to see teachers without an appointment. Communication is by e-mail and phone only -- and since teachers respond or don't at their choosing -- our family found this and ineffective way to partner with teachers. The philosophy seems to be, 'Your child is in middle school. thanks for bringing him; we'll take it from here.' Coming from a very collaborative elementary school where parent involvement was encouraged, Centennial just wasn't the place for us. Also, the principal that year was young and inexperienced. It was clear that the teachers run the school.

I have to say that the last 3 years at ccms have been absolutley the best. I love it and i disagree with the bad rating below-dont listen to it!!! I love my school and thanks to a generous donation from SAS we have have amazing technology. No, we dont have any after school sports or a band but most of the teachers are really nice. They get to know YOU as a student/parent and YOU as an indivudual there to learn student or not! Kids get really close and the friendships last! And you really know and understand that you are apart of the family!
