Over the past few weeks our middle schoolers have been doing some pretty cool learning! From engineering boats out of cardboard and duct tape, to creating Art with Purpose performance assessment pieces, to building cardboard mini winter scenes, to learning brand-new instruments — our kids have been busy showing what hands-on learning is all about.

Check out this highlight video showcasing all their incredible work!

The music you’ll hear is our Middle School Rock Band’s cover of Death Cab for Cutie — they crushed it! So proud of our Rams and all the creativity, courage, and joyful learning happening every day. 🐏💚🤘

✨ Join Us for a Night Under the Stars! ✨
Centennial School is hosting a community stargazing night — and this year is extra special!
We were one of only two schools selected in the San Luis Valley to receive a donated telescope, and we can’t wait to share it with our community as we explore the night sky together. 🌌🔭
Even better — our event lines up with the Geminids Meteor Shower, one of the most dazzling celestial shows of the year. Expect bright, colorful meteors and an unforgettable experience!
📅 December 8th
⏰ 5:30–7:00 pm
📍 Centennial School
Bundle up, bring your curiosity, and join us for telescope viewing, shooting stars, and a magical evening under the sky with our Ram Fam.
⭐️ Clear skies, community, and cosmic wonder — see you there! ⭐️

Centennial School District R-1 will remain closed for students for the remainder of this week due to a credible threat directed toward our school.

We are working closely and continuously with the Costilla County Sheriff’s Office and the District Attorney’s Office as they continue an active investigation. The decision to remain closed has been made out of an abundance of caution and in coordination with law enforcement partners to ensure the safety of everyone in our school community.

Please note that all school activities, practices, and events scheduled through Monday are canceled while the investigation continues and the district completes additional safety measures.

We ask that no students or community members come to campus at this time while law enforcement and district personnel continue their work.

We know this situation is unsettling, and we want to thank our families and community for their patience, trust, and understanding as we take every step necessary to protect our students and staff. The safety and well-being of our school community remain our highest priority.

We will continue to share updates and next steps through our district communication channels, including phone, text, Facebook, and our school website, as more information becomes available.
