Course registration information distributed during advisement will contain specific information and directions for students to follow in order to ensure that the desired courses are requested. Parents are requested to discuss course request decisions with their students and sign off on the required forms.

Georgia Apply to College Event at CHS
On November 17th, Centennial hosted our first Georgia Apply to College event. During the event every senior was given the opportunity to receive hands-on assistance applying to college using GACollege411.org. We had a number of college representatives, school counselors, and parent and community volunteers on hand to work with students individually as they completed their on-line college application. On that day, we had 166 students apply to college during our event!
In support of our Apply to College Event, Centennial HS designated the week of November 14th as “College Week”. We had a representative from the Hispanic Scholarship Fund (HSF) who did a presentation for Junior and Senior Latino students. Throughout the week teachers took a few minutes at the beginning or end of each class to discuss the benefits and value of college and encouraged students to ask them about their college and college going experience. Also, we posted a bulletin board in the main hall displaying the alma mater(s) of Centennial staff members.
Based on the positive feedback we have received from students, parents and staff, we are planning to bring college week back again next year!!!! Thank you again to everyone who supported this effort…especially the colleges, agencies and community members listed below who helped to support this initiative and make is a success:
