Welcome to Centennial Schools!

Centennial Schools is an amazing place for students to learn, grow, and achieve!  The foundation and heart of Centennial Schools is the people:  Staff members, students, families, and community members  working together to create the very best experience for our students to achieve success and academic excellence, support their needs as learners and individuals, and provide opportunities for students to connect with each other, creating a sense of belonging. 

In Centennial, we are focused on these three themes for success: Connecting. Achieving. Preparing. These themes drive our collective focus to prepare students with the skills and experiences necessary to be successful in the future.  Our strategic plan was shaped by our community and guides our work to provide students with opportunities to explore their interests, experience success in their learning, and strive for academic excellence.  

As the Superintendent of Centennial Schools, I am proud of the long standing tradition of educational and academic excellence for all students. On any given day, you will see students engaged in morning meetings, learning inside and outside of their classrooms and throughout the buildings, participating in co-curricular activities, and working with dedicated staff committed to helping them to be their very best.

Centennial Schools is the center of our five communities–Blaine, Centerville, Circle Pines, Lexington, and Lino Lakes–and we are proud of the partnerships and relationships with our community stakeholders. Together, we will continue to do great things for our students. 

Thank you for taking the time to explore our website and learn more about our school district.  We hope that you are encouraged, inspired, and more informed about Centennial Schools. I invite you to discover our schools and communities and to experience it for yourself!
