Dobby at Klinger

At Klinger Middle School, we are thrilled to showcase our beloved statue of Dobby from Harry Potter, which changes outfits every month to celebrate the holiday or holidays associated with that month. Each month also brings a unique book theme, designed to inspire our students and staff. For October, we embraced the spooky season with the theme "Oh the Horror," featuring a special section dedicated to horror books. February’s theme, "We're Better Together: Read a Book Together," encourages our school community to enjoy reading books with a friend, in a shared experience. A special shout out to Mrs. Goodwin for her incredible imagination and for creating such a delightful and engaging display that continues to captivate everyone who visits our library.

Log College Cupcake Wars Grand Champions

The students made delicious Cookie Monster cupcakes that were chocolate cake with marshmallow fluff/chocolate chip cookie filling with buttercream frosting and a fantastic display of cookie monster as a chef. Each student received the "golden cupcake" trophy, which was printed in STEM with the 3D printer and a $10 gift card to Starbucks. Congratulations to all!

WTHS Boys Bowling - Suburban One League Champions

Energetic, Electric, Inspiring, Shocking, Determined, and Exhilarating. Those are the six adjectives the William Tennent Boys Bowling Team used to describe their season and winning the Suburban One League Baker Tournament on Thursday, February 20th at Quakertown's Earl Lanes. Back on Day 1 of the season in November, Coach Kevin Brown turned to Coach Sherin and said, "These boys are going to win the SOL." They showed their depth, resilience, and determination by shutting down the American Division winners of Quakertown in Round 1 of the tournament. In the Championship Round they faced their division rivals of Pennsbury, the National League winners. They pulled out the victory against Pennsbury by winning the 1st and 2nd games of the best of 3 series in the final frame. Each of the six varsity boys brings a contributing piece to this team that is making their mark in the Tennent history books. Senior Tristan Ziegler is their lead off. Sophomores Cory Leftwich, Ryan Lovenstein, Reese Markowski, and Junior Noah Servis are the middle men. And Senior Enrique Fernandes as their anchor for the last two seasons. The boys will be competing at the Eastern PA Regional Tournament in Lancaster on Saturday, March 1st. Keep on Rollin boys!

WT Music Department Presents "A Night With The Stars"

On Thursday, January 30, the WT Music Department hosted a wonderfully unique evening of musical entertainment in the Betty Huf Planetarium at William Tennent. "A Night With the Stars" featured 13 performances by 24 students (and 1 teacher!) including an eclectic mix of music ranging from harp to heavy metal, pop, musical theater, jazz, and more.


The event was spearheaded by senior Declan Cashman who came up with the idea, coordinated with music teachers and administration, assembled a team of student performers and helpers, advertised for the concert, and performed in the closing act.


The music department would like to thank all of the audience members who came out to support our performers and to those who were able to make a donation.

WT Students Participate in PMEA District Choir Festival

One hundred and sixty (160) of the best high school singers in Bucks and Montgomery counties gathered at Pottsgrove Middle School from February 7-8 for the PMEA District 11 Choir Festival. Eight students from William Tennent HS had the opportunity to rehearse with Dr. Ryan Kelly from West Chester University as they prepared a challenging and diverse repertoire of choral music. Despite the beginning AND end of the festival being shortened by snow, the concert was fantastic!

Round Up to Support Feeding School Kids

Centennial's Food & Nutrition Department is again partnering with GIANT Food Stores to help support our students facing food insecurity. We encourage the greater community to participate in this effort.


From January 1 through March 31, everyone who shops at GIANT in Warminster or Upper Southampton will be invited to "round-up" at the register and donate the round-up amount of their bill to support Feeding School Kids. Customers can also give by converting their CHOICE Rewards Points to donations in the GIANT app or purchasing a reusable bag.


We ask our school community to help spread the word about the Feeding School Kids 2025 Campaign to ensure its success. Our goal is to support the children in our district who need the most help accessing nutritious meals and snacks. From backpacks with weekend food to clearing lunch debt to building a community pantry in our schools, the funds will be provided directly to our district's food organization for use, at our discretion, to address food insecurity in our school community.


Please join us in supporting and advocating for this initiative to help ensure no child in our district experiences hunger at school or home.
