Around Campus

  • Congratulations to Centennial's Students of the Month, seniors Brian Liang and Lian Mitchell, recognized by the Peoria Rotary Club Friday. Brian serves as a leader in FBLA and DECA. He plans to attend ASU next year and dual major in business and finance. Lian is President of National Honor Society and the Engineering Club as well as the Drum Major for Band! She plans to attend NAU and major in elementary education. Both received $100 gifts from the Peoria Rotary Club, recognizing them for exemplifying the organization's value of "Service Above Self." Rotary also donated a wheelchair in each student's name to a recipient in need.

    Thanks to Mrs. Ankrapp, Mrs. Tice, and Mrs. Saltzman and Centennial's FCCLA students for preparing an outstanding breakfast to welcome members of the North Peoria Rotary Club, as well as principals, families, and students of the month from CeHS, Ironwood, Peoria and Peoria Flex Academies. Centennial's culinary students prepared an egg casserole, muffins, cookies, fruit, and other sides in a fall-themed meal that pleased our visitors and showcased their growing skills!
