The Hero News

Centennial Academy is a uniform school. Every scholar must wear a black or white polo or button-down top and gray bottoms every day! Fridays, scholars may wear a Centennial spirit wear shirt with gray bottoms. Our uniform dress is heavily enforced each day throughout the school year.

Our doors open at 7:35 a.m. Dropping off your child at school prior to doors opening causes security and safety concerns. Centennial does not provide supervision before 7:35 a.m.
