Elementary aged students are welcomed to attend Centennial High School Athletic events. As a reminder, they are required to be accompanied and supervised by their parents/guardians throughout the event.

Elementary school students should be in the bleachers with their parents/guardians not gathered or congregating near the main entrance/concessions due to heavy amount of traffic from entering Cougar Stadium, concession lines, and restrooms.

Outside athletic equipment/supplies (i.e., balls, bats, sticks, etc.) are prohibited at Centennial High School Athletic events. Please leave them at home or in your vehicles. Failure to comply will result in event staff taking the items and holding them until the conclusion of the event.

The designated student section in the southwest corner of the bleachers is reserved for Centennial High School, grades 9-12 students only and will be supervised by event staff.

It is a right and privilege to attend Centennial High School Athletic and Activities events. Expectation for appropriate behavior and actions is expected by all spectators. The two attachments provide the framework of behavior expectations as set forth by both the Minnesota State High School League and the Northwest Suburban Conference.

Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact me directly.

With Thanks-

Matt St. Martin
