Centenary Heights is a suburb of Toowoomba, Queensland, Australia, located 4 kilometres (2 mi) from the central business district.
Previously part of Middle Ridge, the area was named Centenary Heights in 1960 in honour of the separation of Queensland from New South Wales in 1859.[2]
The suburb contains two public schools and two private schools: Centenary Heights State High School (1968), Gabbinbar State School (1972); St Thomas More's Primary School (Catholic, 1961) and Martin Luther Primary School (Lutheran, 1977).
