Centennial High School is a high school in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, teaching grades 10-12. The school's name was chosen as a reference to the 100th birthday of the province of Alberta in 2005, as the construction of the school was finished that year. The school opened for students to attend in 2004, while the school was still undergoing construction.
Centennial High is unique in its area because of its emphasis on its "Career Pathways" program. Every other week, students attend a "Career by Design" class where they develop their strategies for possible career options and educational possibilities. The program is intended to aid students in their lives beyond high school. The school's mission is, appropriately, "Preparing students for life and work."
Centennial High has a large number of Microsoft Windows computers, all part of a school-wide network. The school's "Information Commons", which includes a library, in itself has over 100 computers; this is including two computer labs. Also in the school is the "Communication Technology" computer lab, which contains approximately 40 Windows and 30 Macintosh computers.
School enrollment as of September 2005 is 1130 students.
