    Mission: The mission of Centennial Middle School is to empower and inspire all students to apply the knowledge, skills, and attitudes necessary to become curious learners, creative problem solvers, to achieve personal success, and to become caring contributors to society.

    Vision: Cultivating Minds for Success  

    Core Values: Perseverance, Respect, Integrity, Dedication, Educational Equity  


    Basic Comprehensive Achievement Plan (CAP) Goals: 

    If Centennial Middle School provides ongoing professional development support on three main AVID strategies, which includes: 5 Stages of Note Taking, Structured Conversations and Philosophical Chairs, then 100% of CMS staff will be trained in these strategies for full implementation in the 2022-2023 school year in every classroom to support every student through AVID. 

    If Centennial Middle School increases Community class time and aligns lessons with CSD SEL Guiding Principles to  provide opportunities for staff and students to engage in relationship building, then at the end of the 2020-2021 school year, students will indicate an increased sense of both belonging and connections to Centennial Middle School.   

    If Centennial Middle School develops and facilitates a MTSS program that aligns with our district-wide process and resources, then all CMS students will increase their progress measures by the end of the school year.

    If Centennial Middle School develops a comprehensive, multifaceted communication plan to increase community engagement, then we will see an increase in participation in community events such as conferences and meetings with the principal.
