History
Centennial opened to students in August of 1996. The faculty and administration
of Centennial
High School reflect the diversity and richness of Williamson County.
From all corners of the community, these individuals represent a unique blend of
background and expertise. They strive to offer an unparalleled commitment,
providing students with a quality education that promises to make Centennial
High School synonymous with excellence.
The physical
structure of Centennial High School reflects Williamson County's commitment to
innovation, technology, and education, offering optimal education experiences in
a state-of-the-art facility. Structurally striking and aesthetically pleasing,
this two-story plan integrates technology with a positive learning environment
that will prepare students for life-long learning in the 21st Century.
The design and
construction of Centennial
High School foster expectations for excellence. A user-friendly college and
career-counseling center is networked on-line to colleges and universities.
Twelve science laboratories allow for computer dissection and extensive hands-on
experimentation. Three fully networked computer laboratories focus on business
applications, computer literacy and programming. In addition, a fully networked
communications lab services the technology broadcasting program, yearbook
production and newspaper/journalism. The building also features a computerized
media center and two technology classrooms that include computer and darkroom
capability. Each classroom offers computer/Internet hard/software capabilities.
All instructional environments focus on assisting and expanding the learning
potential of the student, creating safe situations in which students may develop
into educated, responsible citizens of a global society.
Community
Williamson County's
central location allows its residents to commute to the myriad of higher and
continuing education facilities located throughout Middle Tennessee. Also
located only 30 miles to the east is Murfreesboro,
giving Williamson County residents easy access to Middle Tennessee State
University. Vanderbilt, Belmont, Trevecca, and TSU are closely located in nearby
Nashville. Columbia State provides an opportunity for students to articulate in
various programs.
Franklin's parks include the Jim Warren City Parks, John D. Pinkerton Park and
the City Park at Fieldstone. Other parks in the county include the 800-acre
Fairview Nature Park, the 160-acre Crockett Park, Granny White Park, and the
Deerwood Arboretum.
Equestrian
sports are popular in Williamson County,
demonstrated in the number of annual horse shows, The Steeplechase and Western
rodeo. The county is also home to a variety of top-quality golf courses, such as
The Legends, The Governor's Club, Forest Crossing, Country Club of Franklin, and
Spencer Creek.

clear understanding of themselves, their needs, interests, skills, and the
realities and possibilities of the worlds of education and work.
