Centennial School District -

At this past Tuesday's Board of School Directors meeting, the Centennial School District community took a solemn moment to honor the life and legacy of former Board Member Jane Schrader Lynch. We were deeply humbled to welcome Jane’s family to the meeting, where they were presented with a memorial plaque in recognition of her dedicated service. Jane was a committed public servant whose advocacy for our students, staff, and schools left a lasting mark on the district. We extend our deepest sympathies to her loved ones and remain profoundly grateful for her years of leadership and service to Centennial.

Students at Willow Dale Elementary School are applying principles of architecture and engineering introduced during their "Structures" unit. After exploring the art and science of structural design, such as symmetry, balance, and stability, students were challenged to design and construct original cardboard structures that demonstrated their understanding.

With the Chomp Saw made available through funding from the Centennial Education Foundation, students were able to safely and precisely cut cardboard into unique and complex shapes. This tool fostered creativity in a safe and developmentally appropriate manner.

We are loving all the projects!

🤖 Last weekend, the William Tennent High School Robotics Team competed in their first qualifying event of the season. The team, which has been meeting since September but their season started on January 10th, strategized, designed, built, and programmed a robot that was unique to the FIRST "Rebuilt" game. The team overcame tremendous adversity. Multiple parts broke on our robot, but our team never quit, and we never missed a match.

To learn more about our team, check out www.centennialsd.org/wtrobotics and explore the "Rebuilt - 2026 How to Play" tab and get ready to join us March 21st and March 22nd as William Tennent hosts our Week 3 qualifier!

What a great turnout last night at William Tennent High School! 🎓
We had over 75 colleges, universities, and trade schools, along with various US Military branches, in attendance for our College Fair. It was a wonderful opportunity for our students to visit and speak directly with representatives from so many post-secondary institutions.

Prior to the fair, we also hosted a presentation for parents of our Grade 11 students. We focused on the post-secondary process and how families can support their students from start to finish. Attendees were provided with a timeline and essential information to help guide them through career exploration and future education options.

Thank you to all the representatives, students, and parents who made yesterday evening such a success!

What a week! 📚✨ As #ReadAcrossAmericaWeek comes to a close, we want to send a massive thank you to everyone who celebrated with us across the district! We also held Scholastic Book Fairs in the district

Seeing the excitement on our students' faces as they picked out their next great adventure was the highlight of our week. Keep turning those pages, Centennial!
