November 6 - 10, 2023
Last week, the Arizona Department of Education released its annual school report cards. We're very proud of our students, teachers, staff and families for helping Centennial to earn another A-rating! Our school letter grade reflects our collective dedication to a Culture of Achievement. As juniors, this year's seniors in the Class of 2024 demonstrated even higher levels of ACT proficiency than their Class of 2023 counterparts. Our Class of 2023 graduates again helped Centennial to earn all of the possible Arizona points for College & Career Readiness, English Language Acquisition, and Graduation Rate. Thank you for your commitment to Excellence!

Last week, Centennial’s counselors met with each grade level to provide students with a folder containing registration materials, a presentation explaining required and elective course options, and guidance to help students complete their 2024-25 registration forms. Students and families, please review these forms together. Parents must sign and approve their Coyote’s course choices, and students must enter those choices into StudentVUE prior to Tuesday, November 7th. Students will hand their parent-signed registration forms into their 2nd period teachers on Tuesday, November 7th.
Essential Website to Help Students and Families Navigate Registration
Please click here to visit Centennial’s 2024-2025 Student Registration Website. You’ll find detailed directions for the four-step registration process, as well as registration forms, links to watch the presentations for each grade level, and helpful documents concerning core classes, CTE programs, performing and fine arts, and Advanced Placement courses. You can also find links to learn about opportunities on other campuses, such as the MET or West-MEC. The courses our students choose shape their skills, interests and post-secondary opportunities. We hope you’ll schedule family time to carefully consider your options, and we hope you’ll reach out to us if we can answer any questions.
