The English as a Second Language Program (ESL) in Centennial School District # 12 provides opportunities for students who speak languages, other than English, to become fluent in English.

At the elementary level, service is provided through pullout and inclusion. Secondary level service is provided as a class within the student's schedule. The ESL teachers and classroom teachers work collaboratively to plan instruction that is most beneficial for the academic and language needs of the students. Instruction is given in the four modalities of listening, speaking, reading and writing.

ESL programs are available at Centennial High School, Centennial Middle School, Centennial Elementary, Golden Lake Elementary, and Centerville Elementary. The ESL staff members include Sharon Belich, Sue Gambucci, and Barb Stein.
