Centennial is celebrating homecoming with a week of dress-up days. Feel free to join in on the fun!

On Monday, Centennial students celebrated International Dot Day, which is based on the book, The Dot by Peter H. Reynolds. Dot Day is a day to celebrate self-expression and encourages people to make their mark, no matter how small it may be. This collaborative bulletin board is located near the gym and allows our students to see the creativity of their peers!
