Klinger’s science students celebrated Earth Day by doing Earth-centered activities, including the 8 Black Barracuda Team’s Klinger Klean Up! Students spent their science class cleaning up trash from areas around Klinger, including the front bus platform, the side of the building along the fences, and the sports field areas!

On Tuesday, April 8, the Board and Administration presented Athletic Director John Creighton with a certificate to celebrate his achievement in being named the PA State Athletic Director's Association Region 1 Athletic Director of the Year!

Our K-12 Fine Arts Showcase is coming up on Friday, May 2nd. It is an event our Art and FCS departments are super proud of, and we have been lucky enough to have tons of support for the 40 years we've been running it. You don't want to miss it!

Get ready to take a look behind the lens and see just what filmmaking can be at the 10th annual Behind the Lens film festival!

Be sure to wear your red carpet best and come out to see some incredible films from students right here at Tennent. The event is hosted by Jason Lee, a Producer for PHL 17 Morning News, and Tony Sadowski, Vice President of Creative at Slice Communications and owner of the marketing strategy, media production, and voiceover company Spec Communications. There are some remarkably talented judges like Brad Herman, Co-founder of SPACES, Inc. & former DreamWorks Animator, Carli Showmaker, a William Tennent Class of 2015 grad and Emmy-nominated videographer based in Philadelphia, John Newman, a William Tennent Class of 2016 graduate who participated in the first Behind The Lens Film Festival, and more judges from all over the industry.

But of course, the night would be nothing without the talented students who submitted their amazing work. Mrs. Dina McCaffery, Media Production teacher & Film Festival founder, says, “There’s something for everybody. From comedies to documentaries, you’ll surely find something you’ll enjoy!"

The event will be held on April 30th in the auditorium. Tickets will be sold for $5 at the door, which open at 6:00 pm for the red carpet and interviews, and films will be shown at 6:30 pm. So come out to William Tennent for a fun-filled night that you won’t want to miss!

Every single day, our amazing Centennial Food Service team shows up with heart,

making sure our students are nourished, energized, and ready to take on the day.

You’re not just serving meals, you’re serving care, kindness, and smiles.

School Lunch Hero Day (May 2, 2025) is our chance to recognize and thank these

everyday heroes for all they do. Let’s show our appreciation and celebrate the incredible

impact they have on our school community!

The GIANT Company today announced its Feeding School Kids initiative, in partnership with its customers, raised more than $1.2 million to address food insecurity throughout local public school districts in the communities it serves.

“Studies have shown a direct correlation between good nutrition and a student’s ability to learn, which is why our Feeding School Kids initiative is so important in helping local public school districts eliminate hunger,” said Jennifer Scott, vice president, chief human resources and community relations officer, The GIANT Company. “Together with our customers and team members, we have raised more than $8.5 million over the past five years to ensure students can focus on learning and not worrying about where their next meal may come from.”

The Centennial School District uses Raptor Volunteer Management System to provide a more efficient and effective process to verify and track volunteer clearances. Please visit our website (scroll down to see "How Do I Submit My Paperwork?" to learn more about our volunteer guidelines and/or to upload your clearances to Raptor Volunteer Management System.

Each year, more and more people and organizations are turning to our District to help get the message out about various activities, events, fundraisers, etc. The intent of this process is to support student achievement and to provide mutual assistance and benefit through shared information. Our district spends a great deal of time collecting, reviewing, and posting flyers to the District eFolder. The District no longer is posting eFlyers to any social media outlets or the District cable channel. You may refer to Policy 913 for additional information.
