Century Updates

It is Culture Week at CHS. We look forward to celebrating and honoring the beautiful diversity that makes up our community! We are also excited for the first day of spring sports. The days are longer and the weather is getting clearer. It is going to be a great week!

Last week, Mr. Barry and Mr. Kellar hosted a college and career fair where students could find out more about all of the college and career pathways offered in HSD.

On March 5th from 6:00-7:30 pm, we will host our 9th grade welcome night for all of our incoming current 8th grade students and their families. We will have teachers and other staff members representing their departments and programs to give you an insight into the many great opportunities Century High School has to offer.

Eighth graders will also have the opportunity to visit Century High School on Thursday (03/07), and Friday (03/08) during school hours (transportation will be provided). During their visit, 8th-grade students will be able, to complete and turn in their forecasting sheets, get a tour of the school led by our awesome JagCrew leaders, and participate in a student panel where they can ask current Century students questions about high school.

Students older than the class of '28 may attend of they feel like they would like to learn more about academic programs and offerings at CHS.

We are set to begin our state testing season beginning on April 1. Students will be testing in their Language Arts, Math and Science classes and will need their chrome books to complete their tests.

Students are required to use their school-issued Chromebooks for state testing. Please remind your students to charge and bring their devices to school, and to bring their charging cords as well.

Booster Club:

We meet on the second Wednesday of every month throughout the school year (except December). Parents can come and hear about school events directly from the administration and ask questions about any concerns. The meeting takes place in the Media Room, which is on the second floor just above the main staircase next to the office /front doors. Because Valentine's Day lands on our usual meeting time, our next meeting will be on February 7, at 7pm, on the first floor, in the College and Career Center.
