Eagle News:
As we close the week, we say Good - Bye to our seniors - the Class of 2018. Thursday was their last day. Graduation is May 30th at 8 am.
Congratulations on your accomplishments, your educational commitment is outstanding, and your dedication and hard work is relentless. You exemplify the tradition and character of a Centennial student…Eagle Pride, Eagle Excellence!
Over 160 seniors were recognized at the Senior Awards Assembly, Wednesday, May 23rd and Departments recognized the seniors at the Farewell Assembly on Thursday, May 24th.
All high school commencement ceremonies will be streamed live on the HCPSS website at www.hcpss.org. Watch the graduations live… On-demand viewing also will be available following each ceremony. You may order graduation DVDs online now, and only through June 15. This is a change from previous years when purchasing was available for several months after graduations.
In addition, all graduation-related information, including DVD details and parking maps for each ceremony, can be found on the HCPSS site at http://www.hcpss.org/commencements/.
The front door security system “The Buzzer” is now working at Centennial High School. All exterior doors are locked and a visitor must use the front door and ring the doorbell to enter the building and be “buzzed in.” Thank you.
The yearbook looks awesome! Be sure to place your order before June 15th. Extra copies will not be ordered. We will only receive books for those who place an order. Seniors will have their books mailed directly to their home. Underclassmen will receive their copy the first week back. Contact kristin_lavender@hcpss.org if you should have any questions.
Congratulations!
Ram Kotnana is the Boys Singles Regional Champion, Peter Ho and Olivia Tsai are the Mixed Doubles Regional Champions, and Christopher Chen and Summer Shen won 2nd place in the Mixed Doubles Regional Tournament. All players will represent Centennial in the State Finals this Friday and Saturday.
Congratulation CHS Track!

Thank you Centennial Community for the honor of being the recipient of your Commitment to Excellence Award. I have been so fortunate to be with you for the past ten years and see your children grow up to be intelligent, thoughtful, compassionate young adults. I have enjoyed every minute of being with your children from music concerts, dance concerts, sporting events, Science and GT Fairs, academic competitions, Field Trips, Homecoming events, to all the senior activities.
Looking forward to a spectacular Graduation for the Class of 2018!
Be Safe!
Have a great weekend
