Centennial first opened its doors in 1989. Located in the southeast corner of Olympia, we serve students in grades kindergarten through 5th grade. There are typically four classrooms at each grade level, located within three separate pods and seven portables. The pod areas surround the library, which is located at the heart of the building. The large library has a story area, classroom instructional area, and access to technology with a focus on STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics). Over 16,000 books are in active circulation thanks to the ongoing support of the Centennial Booster Club.
Our closely-knit community takes great pride in Centennial Elementary, which is well known for its parent involvement, academic rigor, music and choir programs, high volunteer rates and an experienced, talented and caring staff. The mission statement of Centennial Elementary School is to ensure high levels of learning for all. Our vision is to strive to promote a curiosity for learning. All staff members work collaboratively to provide meaningful learning opportunities for all students, with an emphasis on academic achievement and social/emotional growth.
Community members and parents are encouraged to come in and lend a hand. Parents may become involved with the school through volunteering or by joining the active Booster Club. A strong partnership with the families and community enhances the academic and social opportunities for students at Centennial.
