Centennial held their 2026 Centennial Spelling Bee. We are so proud of the bravery and courage these spellers display today.
Bryn Hardin became our champion with the word scorcher and will represent Centennial in the Regional Spelling Bee.

At the conclusion of our Spelling Bee, these girls displayed the epitome of the Spelling Bee - comradery and sportsmanship with a hug that pulled on everyone's heart strings!
Congratulations, girls!

Our 3rd-5th grade students have been working hard in PE this year. One of the activities is a fitness test called the PACER, a progressively challenging running test. Many of our students compete in the series of 3 tests in order to make it into the PACER Showcase, but only the top 14 girls and top 14 boys qualify. In December, we hosted our PACER Showcase with those qualifying students, and they were incredible! Our male champion was Cohen (2x champ), with Kellen and Braxtyn taking 2nd and 3rd, respectively. Our female champion was Mady (2x champ), with Riley (girl's school record holder) and Talia taking 2nd and 3rd, respectively. This is a fun event that the school rallies around each year. We want to thank our CPO for the donation for t-shirts for each qualifying student, and a special thank you to Jeanette Linker for her continued monetary contribution to supply medals, and help the classroom teachers receive shirts.
